Governor Kathy Hochul on indictment of former aide, proposed school cell phone ban

WNYC News | Sep 3, 2024

Federal prosecutors say a New York state official who worked for Governor Kathy Hochul and former Governor Andrew Cuomo was secretly an agent for the Chinese government — and made millions of dollars through the scheme. Hochul talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson to address the allegations. She also spoke at length about her proposed cell phone ban in New York schools ahead of the first day of city schools this week.
