Buffalo, NY (WBEN) The Erie County District Attorney's office says it's asking for more information from the state Attorney General's office on one incident in its investigation that happened in WNY.
DA John Flynn says in a statement he has asked for more information on an incident described in the report that happened on a flight in WNY.
The attorney general's report cites "In or around October 2017, Lindsay Boylan flew with the Governor and a number of others back from an event in Western New York on the Governor’s plane. She recalled sitting across from the Governor and next to Abbey Fashouer Collins, then the First Deputy Press Secretary to the Governor. Ms. Boylan testified that, at one point, the Governor said something to the effect of “let’s play strip poker.” Ms. Boylan said that she was stunned by the Governor’s remark and responded with something sarcastic, like, “That is exactly what I was thinking.” Ms. Boylan did not think he was “literally asking . . . to play” strip poker, but rather was doing it to “get a reaction.” She thought it had “a sexual innuendo” and was “inappropriate."
