AG investigating Cuomo vaccine czar over calls to county leaders
NY Post
The state attorney general is now investigating whether Gov. Cuomo’s COVID-19 vaccine czar pressured county leaders to support the embattled governor, holding out access to the life-saving jab in the process.
Two Democratic county executives told The Post Saturday they had been contacted by state investigators in March over Larry Schwartz, a longtime aide to Governor Cuomo who is overseeing the vaccine rollout. “Yes, it was a formal interview,” said one county executive, describing an hour-long Zoom call with two investigators and an assistant from the attorney general’s office.More Related News
