NEW YORK |
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo on Thursday said he chose a former top state judge to oversee probes into whether Governor David Paterson wrongly accepted World Series baseball tickets or the state police had tried to quash a domestic violence charge against an aide to the governor.
The preliminary investigation has found "preliminary issues that need to be resolved," Cuomo told reporters in a conference call. Judge Judith Kaye will be an independent counsel, he said.
