Spitzer Resignation Expected Wednesday
Governor May Have Spent $80K In Alleged Transgressions

NEW YORK (CBS) ― Gov. Eliot Spitzer is set to resign Wednesday, sources tell CBS station WCBS-TV, but insiders say he's going to use the resignation as a bargaining chip to cut a deal with federal prosecutors and he won't step down until that happens. The talks have been going on since Tuesday morning.

The governor's fate rests in the hands of two people: U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia and Michele Hirshman, the head of his legal defense team. The deal they cut will determine Spitzer's future.

Criminal law experts say Spitzer will definitely have to resign the governorship and that what's involved in the deal is key.
