Official Corruption

[edit]

I feel that adding this content at the end of this paragraph would improve this article:

In May 2023, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned his conviction.[1][2]

In March 2018, a federal jury in Manhattan convicted Percoco on felony charges of solicitation of bribes and honest services fraud for over $315,000 in bribes he took from two people seeking official favors on behalf of an energy company, Competitive Power Ventures Inc. Prosecutors described him as Cuomo's "right-hand man".[3][4][5] Following Percoco's conviction, Cuomo released a statement declaring that he would respect the jury's verdict and that "there is no tolerance for any violation of the public trust".[6][7][8] In September 2018, Judge Valerie Caproni sentenced Percoco to 6 years in prison saying "I hope that this sentence will be heard in Albany. I hope it will serve as a warning to others in public service."[9] In May 2023, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned his conviction.[10][11]

Why is the Cuomo opinion on the Trump case being left out?

[edit]

Cuomo was the former AG and governor of the same state, so it seems relevant enough to include a short amount of content on his opinion on the Trump election interference and tax fraud (over hush money) case. This isn't to say I agree with that opinion, so nobody should wonder if I'm trying to push something. I think the recent edit was brought in good faith and we should consider keeping it. albeit perhaps with minor tweaks. I realize folks are tied in knots over the presidential election, but we shouldn't let those politics sway our work here. Stefen Towers among the rest! GabGruntwerk 07:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
