Southern District U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara Friday urged New Yorkers to demand higher standards for politicians, asking them to imagine how they would build a system in which corruption could not flourish.
Delivering the keynote address at a forum on “Fighting Corruption in America and Abroad,” sponsored by the Fordham Law School Law Review, Bharara said people should ask themselves how they would reform campaign finance, curb conflicts of interest, limit the outside income of their elected representatives and foster transparency.
