US Attorney Preet Bharara Continues to Probe the Cuomo Administration
Ken Lovett, Albany bureau chief for The Daily News, and Jim Heaney, editor and executive director of Investigative Post, talk about U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's investigation into any wrongdoing in relation to contracts awarded as part of Governor Cuomo's Buffalo Billion economic development plan, plus more state news.
Then David Sirota, senior editor with The International Business Times, joins to talk about what federal agencies say will happen to our Mighty Hudson if GE is allowed to end its cleanup operations.
