NY lawmakers told to save anti-corruption files

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A federal prosecutor has asked members of New York’s Legislature to preserve any material relating to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s defunct anti-corruption commission.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, based in Manhattan, has been critical of the Democratic governor’s decision to disband the commission after nine months and acquired the commission documents. Bharara has already asked the two-dozen people who served on the commission, many of them county prosecutors, to preserve “all documents that may be under your control relating in any way to the work of the Moreland Commission.”
