Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and US Attorney Preet Bharara had lunch together at the Odeon late last week.
Bharara and Schneiderman’s offices have several overlapping probes and remain in regular contact to ensure they’re not stepping on each other’s toes.
But their public lunch has political insiders talking.
Bharara is investigating many of Gov. Cuomo’s associates concerning what he calls the “show-the-money culture in Albany,” and he indicted the governor’s closest aide Joe Percoco for alleged bribery and bid-rigging.
Meanwhile, Schneiderman has criticized Cuomo’s ethics reform plan as “likely unconstitutional.”
