Paterson: "I'll Be Vindicated" In Domestic Violence Scandal
(Albany, NY) -- Governor Paterson says he'll be vindicated as the investigation continues into his alleged role in a domestic violence incident involving one of his top aides. Speaking in Albany today Paterson says he's frustrated, but can't disclose any information while he cooperates with Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's investigation into the matter. According to the "New York Times," a mutual friend of the governor and the woman accusing Paterson aide David Johnson of attacking her told investigators that Paterson asked her to convince the accuser to drop the issue. Deneane Brown reportedly told investigators she contacted the accuser repeatedly before arranging a call between the woman and Paterson. Paterson said today he's angry that facts have been mis-stated and lies are being told in the case, and he hopes Cuomo's investigation leads to the truth.
