Andrew Cuomo rejects requests to release documents related to pandemic book

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a local news outlet are not on the same page regarding the accessibility of documents related to the Democrat’s book deal.

On Friday, Cuomo’s office denied three Freedom of Information Law requests submitted by the Times Union, the Albany-based paper reported. The governor’s attorneys reportedly invoked two laws in their response: one that keeps records of the state’s ethics panel secret and one that keeps records hidden if releasing them could interfere with an investigation.
