Cuomo's $5.1M book contract under scrutiny as NY ethics panel hires law firm to investigate its OK of deal
Fox News
New York's ethics commission voted unanimously to hire a law firm to investigate its approval of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's $5.1 million book deal.
The vote was held during a closed-door session, with the commission voting to hire an outside law firm to "conduct an inquiry into the facts, circumstances, policies and practices" that led to JCOPE approving the book deal.
Several commissioners were already critical of the process that led to the book's approval, arguing that Cuomo's pandemic-related book was only looked at by JCOPE staffers and was never the subject of a full vote by the panel.
