Andrew Cuomo has used $285,000 of campaign funds to pay his legal bills in his fight against the sexual harassment allegations brought by multiple women, according to a report.
Documents filed Friday with the state Board of Elections, and seen by the New York Post, reveal the New York governor paid lawyer Rita Glavin $111,774 on May 3 for 'professional services' after hiring her to defend him in the scandal.
One month later on June 2, the governor paid out another $173,098 in campaign cash to her law firm - the very same day Cuomo told reporters political donations were not going toward his legal costs 'at this time.'

“Cuomo paid lawyer Rita Glavin $111,774 on May 3 for ‘professional services’ after hiring her to defend him in the scandal.”
Are we sure she was providing legal services? Maybe other ‘professional services’?
Good thing Governor Nipple Ring has friends at the Department of Just Us...otherwise he could be in serious trouble.
Well, that’s okay, but did you hear that Donald Trump paid a girls tuition to college?!?!
As Slick Willie would quip: “It’s how you describe Professional Services ... and we will probably differ”.
He’s the highest paid mayor in the US so why is he using campaign funds for something personal?
Is this another democratic money laundering scheme?
Normally, this would put the man in the docket. But will anything happen? The AG of New York will appear to be just as corrupt as Cuomo, if nothing does happen. So? Big deal.
“He’s the highest paid mayor in the US...”
He is the GOVERNOR of New York State. Not the Mayor of New York City. They are not the same.
Isn’t he the Governor?
Cuomo misuse of a couple hundred grand in campaign funds? Who cares?!?
Did you hear Trump property managers may have miss characterized employee earnings and they might owe more taxes? Throw Trump in jail!
Sonny Cuomo announced he is running for re-election and will win in a cake walk.
In a fair world this would result in criminal charges and the loss of tax exempt status for his campaign fund.
OUCH!!!! I know he's the Governor.
I live in NY.
I have no clue why I wrote Mayor.
Anyway, he is the highest paid governor in the US.
