Politics on the Hudson

Here’s a statement from U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia, who is prosecuting the prostitution ring, out of his Manhattan office:

“There is no agreement between this Office and Governor Eliot Spitzer, relating to his resignation or any other matter.”

It’s interesting that a prosecutor would comment on the case at all, but with all the speculation that Spitzer’s resignation was made to avoid criminal prosecution, Garcia is apparently trying to quell those rumors.

So it’s unclear at this point if Spitzer will still face criminal charges.
