New York ethics panel taking steps in unnamed 'investigative matters' after closed-door meeting | Top Stories

ALBANY — New York’s government ethics panel authorized “steps” into unspecified “investigative matters” Friday following a lengthy closed-door meeting.
The Joint Commission on Public Ethics’ secretive specially called meeting was held as Gov. Andrew Cuomo faces a firestorm of scandals related to his handling of the COVID-19 crisis, his million-dollar book deal and sexual harassment claims.
It also follows a request from the top Republican in the state Senate, Sen. Robert Ortt, who two weeks ago called on the panel to probe recent reports that the governor prioritized COVID-19 tests for his friends and family.
After spending two-plus hours in executive session, JCOPE general counsel Monica Stamm said only that “the Commission discussed and authorized steps in investigative matters.”
