Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos (R-Long Island)
ALBANY – The leader of the New York State Senate is refuting a story that came out late last week saying he was also under investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s office.
According to the Albany Times-Union, spokeswoman for Senate Leader Dean Skelos (R-Long Island) says a report by WNBC on Thursday night was a thinly-sourced report and called it irresponsible and not meeting the standards of serious journalism.
The story credited its information to “people familiar with the investigation,” and said U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara – who was the lead investigator in the Silver Corruption investigation – was “taking a hard look at Skelos’ ties to the real estate industry, among other areas of inquiry.
