New York's inspector general says a state trooper should have been disciplined for being romantically involved with a daughter of Andrew Cuomo while he served on the former governor’s security detail
FILE - New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo speaks during a news conference at New York's Yankee Stadium on July 26, 2021. Cuomo sued Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022, arguing that James violated state law by denying him public assistance for his defense in a sexual harassment claim. ALBANY, N.Y.
The report by Inspector General Lucy Lang does not address whether the governor requested the trooper's transfer and does not say which of Cuomo's three daughters was involved. The trooper, Dane Pfeiffer, who got involved with Cuomo's daughter told state police that the relationship began about two months earlier and that he never physically interacted with her while on duty. He described his actions as “professional." But Bruen thought Pfeiffer was “compromised.”
“On paper I volunteered, but no, I don’t want to go up there, never want to go there again,” Pfeiffer testified.The inspector general's report does not conclude Cuomo did anything wrong but faulted state police for not following their own procedures after finding out about the relationship.
