That stance, attributed to an unnamed aide, comes days after his administration was hit with its biggest scandal to date with the unveiling of a criminal complaint against former Cuomo aide and longtime friend of the governor Joseph Percoco and now - suspended SUNY Polytechnic Institute President and CEO Alain Kaloyeros, among others.
The complaint announced on Sept. 22 by Preet Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan, also resulted in charges against two of Mr. Cuomo's former top aides: Joseph Percoco, who served as his executive deputy secretary and close confidant, and Todd R. Howe, whose relationship with Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, dates back to the days his father, Mario M. Cuomo was governor.
At the heart of the charges are payments Percoco and his wife received while the governor's aide was on sabbatical from the state to manage Cuomo's 2014 re-election campaign, though the complaint purports that the alleged kickback schemes date back as far as 2010 — the year then - Attorney General Cuomo successfully sought the state's top office.
