Today, Andrew Cuomo lashed out at a reporter who asked him about donations the Governor received in an apparent straw donor scheme. According to another reporter at the scrum, “[NY1 Reporter] Zack Fink asked Cuomo a tough question about Crystal Run donations. Cuomo briefly answered the question before transitioning to talking about the ‘fraud’ committed by Charter Spectrum (Fink’s employer) against ‘the people of the state of New York.’”

$400k in donations from Crystal Run Healthcare to Cuomo are currently under federal investigation. New revelations show they were likely party of a straw donor scheme.

NEW YORK, NY - Cynthia for New York spokeswoman Lauren Hitt released the following statement on this morning’s Siena poll. It showed Cynthia gained 10 points from Siena’s first poll in March, while the Governor is down 6 points from that time. This gain occurred despite the fact that the Governor has spent over $5 million to date, and despite the fact that just 33 percent of the poll’s sample was under 55. In the 2016 primary election, 42 percent of New York voters were under 45, and recent elections have shown the portion of the electorate is growing.
