New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aides no longer seem convinced Attorney General Tish James will deliver the findings their boss had promised and staked his future on
ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, facing a cascade of misconduct claims earlier this year, dashed off a letter in March directing state Attorney General Tish James to investigate the scandals that were threatening to end his career.
“The continued leaks are more evidence of the transparent political motivation of the attorney general’s review,” Rich Azzopardi, Cuomo’s communication director and a senior adviser, said in a statement after news of the governor’s interview emerged inBy Wednesday, the jabs had become so blatant that fellow Democrats had started to cringe, and the head of a separate legislative impeachment investigation sent Cuomo a very public reprimand.
Lavine’s letter warning the governor’s office to back off came in response to a specific tweet from Azzopardi, who suggested that James wanted his boss’ job next year. But it was hardly the first time that a Cuomo administration official questioned the motives of James’ probe. “We also understand he is a political supporter of Tish James and she says she may run against the governor, and he wants more benefits in his contract.”, the New York Post’s gossip section, that Cuomo’s administration had been spreading rumors that former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara was drumming up support to run for governor next year.
