New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is seeking to distance himself from a corruption scandal that saw two of his closest aides indicted last week on federal corruption charges. Prosecutors say Joseph Percoco and Todd Howe took bribes, using their positions to help companies receive hundreds of millions of dollars in state contracts and other official state benefits. Both are proclaiming their innocence. Cuomo said over the weekend he wasn’t in charge of the contracts involved and that he had “no idea” about the alleged bribery and contract rigging laid out by prosecutors.
