NYS Corruption Probe Growing: Memo Names Sampson, Eric Adams, Hassel-Thompson, Others


12The Times Union reports:

The seal has been lifted on the sentencing memo for ex-Sen. Shirley Huntley, who wore a wire for the FBI for several months last year.

The memo says:

Mrs. Huntley met with attorneys for the government and FBI agents regularly over a six-month period. During her interviews with the government, she advised them that she had knowledge of what she believed to be corruption involving public officials. She was asked by the government’s attorneys and FBI agents to invite certain individuals into her home and record conversations on behest of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. She willing did as they had requested. During the summer of 2012, Ms. Huntley upon the prompting of the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI recorded and photographed the following individuals on multiple occasions:

State Senator John Sampson

Melvin Lowe, (former political consultant and associate of New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman)

State Senator Eric Adams

State Senator Ruth Hassel-Thompson

State Senator Jose Peralta

State Senator Malcolm Smith

City Councilman Rubin Wills

State Senator Velmanette Montgomery

Curtis Taylor, (former press advisor for Malcolm Smith)

Several subsequent sentences were redacted at the request of prosecutors, who in a separate filing earlier Wednesday said, “the information contained therein relates to specific details of ongoing investigations of three elected officials.”

In filings on Tuesday, prosecutors said at least one of these nine people was not a target of any investigation, but eight are. It’s unclear from this memo who that may be.
