AP Interview: Spitzer may yet face ethics inquiry

NY — The panel that charged former Gov. Eliot Spitzer's aides with ethics violations in a political scandal may investigate whether Spitzer orchestrated delays in the initial probe.

Public Integrity Commission Executive Director Herbert Teitelbaum told The Associated Press on Friday that a "post-mortem" will see if the commission should investigate who directed a series of tactics that kept some documents from the panel for months.

Teitelbaum says he didn't try to determine who was behind the delays because he focused on whether state officials misused state police.

Four former Spitzer appointees were charged with ethics violations Thursday. Spitzer, who resigned in March over unrelated prostitution allegations, has not been charged.
