Investigations into Former Cuomo Aide and de Blasio

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 3, 2016

Ken Lovett, Albany bureau chief for The Daily News, talked the investigations into the governor's Buffalo Billion program and Mayor de Blasio's fund-raising for the 2014 state senate races.

Lovett explained what he knows about Joseph Percoco, a former top aide to the governor who was "like a brother" to him and who's now being investigated.

We know Percoco got paid by two groups, even though one of them claims they've never hired or paid him, said Lovett.

As for Mayor de Blasio, Lovett said he doesn't know where the investigations will end up, but ultimately the DA and U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara will determine that.
