From the New York Post:
Gov. Paterson yesterday defended his request for an investigation into the State Police by the attorney general after findings that no major wrongdoing occurred were leaked to the press.
“I asked the attorney general to investigate it and I’ll leave that to him,” Paterson said at the West Indian American Day Parade in Brooklyn.
“I didn’t have any proof — it was just some . . . rather bizarre events that . . . I thought . . . merited an investigation,” the governor added.
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is expected to announce as early as today that his 18-month probe found no evidence of a “rogue unit” within in the State Police that spied on then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s political enemies, including then-Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno, sources said.
