GOP calls on NY AG James to probe ‘Kickback Kathy’ amid Hochul pay-to-play claims

Republicans are calling on state Attorney General Letitia James to investigate alleged pay-to-play schemes involving Gov. Kathy Hochul ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

“Kickback Kathy is the new reigning champion of the Albany cesspool of corruption,” State GOP Chair Nick Langworthy said in a statement Tuesday.

“She is brazenly selling lucrative state contracts to her donors and just because it’s likely done with a wink and a nod doesn’t make it any less criminal. She needs to be investigated and thrown out of office by the voters,” he alleged of the Democratic governor.

The Hochul campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Calls for an investigation of gubernatorial fundraising follow a growing list of media reports detailing controversial campaign contributions to Hochul ahead of the Nov. 8 election against Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin.

Letitia James is too busy fishing in the empty Lake Trump to pursue real corruption.
