In a surprise development in the state police scandal, Governor Spitzer yesterday submitted to questioning by Albany County investigators, who are trying to determine if his administration committed a crime in connection with its scheme to discredit the state Senate Republican leader, Joseph Bruno, a source close to the district attorney’s office said. It was the first time investigators have formally questioned the governor, who has insisted repeatedly that he was unaware that his aides had done anything improper. Sources say Mr. Spitzer was not interviewed under oath.
The interview of the governor comes at what is believed to be the tail end of District Attorney David Soares’s seven-week criminal inquiry.
