A former top aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo was convicted Tuesday on three corruption charges — but cleared of three others when jurors returned a mixed and partial verdict against Joseph Percoco and three co-defendants.
In a letter to Trump dated May 21, Cuomo requested “the federal government treat this as an emergency situation” and asked Trump to provide funding for construction and transportation alternatives, as well as for a long-term solution.
