Supreme Court sides with ex-Cuomo aide, others convicted of corruption related to 'Buffalo Billion'

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:20:54 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled for a onetime top aide to ex-Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York and for others who were convicted of corruption related to an economic development project known as the "Buffalo Billion.”In two cases before the court, both liberal and conservative justices were unanimous in saying there were problems with the convictions.

In 2016, the Supreme Court threw out the bribery conviction of former Gov. Bob McDonnell, R-Va.The current cases grew out of the “Buffalo Billion” development project, which was inte...
