Cuomo Responds To Bharara’s Letter: No More Commenting On Moreland
Nick Reisman
Gov. Andrew Cuomo responded in a statement Thursday to a letter from U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s office that warned against coaching potential witnesses in the ongoing probe of the Moreland Commission To Investigate Public Corruption and promised to end publicly commenting on the issue that has engulfed his administration.
The letter, reported this morning by The New York Times, came after commission members released statements backing up Cuomo’s argument that the anti-corruption panel was not interfered with by his office.
The statements were released on Monday this week and coincided with the governor’s first public comments to an extensive New York Times story that reported on the governor’s office’s involvement in the commission and efforts to block subpoenas to politically problematic areas.
