New York’s anti-corruption commission has issued subpoenas demanding information from Republicans, but the panel established by Governor Andrew Cuomo has not apparently made such demands of Cuomo’s fellow Democrats in a recent flurry of subpoenas aimed at political organizations, according to an official familiar with the case.
The official told The Associated Press on Thursday that the Moreland Commission to Investigate Public Corruption issued subpoenas to the Senate Republican Campaign Committee and the state Independence Party seeking information on housekeeping accounts, which have few limitations on donations they accept or how they spend the cash. The official wasn’t authorized to comment and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
