"If they do not comply with the subpoena, I will take them to court," Cuomo warned on March 19th.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo won adulatory news coverage last month for his tough handling of the $165 million AIG bonus scandal. Now, Cuomo's office refuses to address questions about documents and emails suggesting that, as early as October, 2008, Cuomo knew about and tacitly approved bonuses to executives in AIG's financial products division.
Repeated attempts by the Huffington Post to get direct answers to these questions produced pointedly evasive and incomplete answers from Cuomo press secretary Alex Detrick, who initially refused to speak on the record, and who then issued a blanket refusal to discuss the matter.
On March 15, immediately after news of the $165 million AIG bonuses became public, Cuomo demanded the names of AIG bonus recipients. The N.Y. Attorney General backed up his demands with a subpoena, five press releases and a publicized letter to Barney Frank, chairman of the US House Financial Services Committee.
"If they do not comply with the subpoena, I will take them to court," Cuomo warned on March 19th.
