Aides to crime-fighting New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and the states lieutenant governor have begun planning for a possible transition after federal prosecutors linked Spitzer to a high-end prostitution ring, a top legislative staffer said Tuesday.
Sources knowledgeable about the investigation said Tuesday that Spitzer, the key ally of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, spent more than $15,000 dollars for several encounters with prostitutes.
The Republican leader of the state Assembly said he would move to impeach Spitzer if he remained in office.
Surprisingly, he is also known for prosecuting prostitution rings and earned the tabloid nickname Eliot Ness after the incorruptible hero of “The Untouchables.”
