NYC prosecutors want to interview trooper about Cuomo’s ‘potential sex crimes’

Manhattan prosecutors are investigating Gov. Andrew Cuomo for “potential sex crimes” and want to interview the state trooper who told investigators about enduring “unwelcome touching” while assigned to his security detail, according to a letter made public Wednesday.

In the letter to the state Attorney General’s Office, Manhattan Chief Assistant District Attorney Nitin Savur asked for the female trooper’s name and a way to contact her or her lawyer. According to the bombshell report released Tuesday by Attorney General Letitia James, the trooper told investigators that Cuomo “ran his finger down the center of her spine” and said, “Hey, you,” while she and a male state police investigator rode an elevator with the governor to his Manhattan office.
