Yesterday, New York Gov. David Paterson suggested that associates of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo leaked Paterson’s confidential discussions with the White House about his election prospects. But today, after Cuomo staffers denied it, Paterson pulled back.
“They denied it on the record, and that’s comforting because they’re not involved,” Paterson said this morning on WCBS radio.
Cuomo has not officially declared his candidacy for governor, but is widely expected to do so. If Paterson stays in the race — which he says he will, despite urging from the White House to step aside — the two will compete in the Democratic primary.
