New York governor Mario Andrew Cuomo received a $25,000 donation from the law firm representing Harvey Weinstein just six days before he called off an investigation into the movie mogul's behavior.
"Mr. Boies is a longtime supporter of Mr. Cuomo and his contribution in June was consistent with his contributions to Mr. Cuomo over years past."
"Mr. Boies" is David Boies, a principal in the law firm of Boies Schiller & Flexner.
Why would Boies even have to mention Weinstein? Cuomo knew Boies was representing Weinstein.
The hefty contribution from Manhattan firm Boies Schiller & Flexner came on June 20, according to records on the state Board of Elections website.
Less than a week later, Cuomo called for a six-month halt of state Attorney General Barbara Underwood's investigation into Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance for deciding not to prosecute Weinstein for a 2015 groping incident.
Boies' firm had hired and paid private investigative companies to dig up dirt on Weinstein accusers - while at the same time representing the New York Times, which also published a report on the Weinstein allegations.
