Money, money, money follow the money
Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered the New York Attorney General?s Office to suspend its investigation into whether Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. mishandled 2015 allegations of sexual misconduct against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
The halt is supposed to be temporary, but a letter obtained by BuzzFeed News said the attorney general?s investigation could interfere with the current criminal case against Weinstein. That case could drag through the courts for months or even years, suggesting the suspension could be extended indefinitely.
?Upon receiving a referral from the Governor, this spring the Attorney General?s Office commenced an inquiry into the handling of recent sexual assault investigations conducted by the Manhattan DA and the NYPD?s Special Victims Unit,? Amy Spitalnick, a spokesperson for the attorney general?s office, told BuzzFeed News on Tuesday. ?This summer, pursuant to the Governor?s office, we temporarily suspended our inquiry to avoid any interference with the District Attorney?s ongoing prosecution of Harvey Weinstein. We remain committed to conducting a comprehensive, fair, and independent review.?
