NEW: @NYGovCuomo says he was aware that when Joe Percoco went to work on his campaign that Percoco might accept consulting fees.— erica orden (@eorden) May 2, 2016
Cuomo says he had one talk w Percoco upon becoming campaign manager. Percoco said he might accept fees. He didn't say from where.— erica orden (@eorden) May 2, 2016
Cuomo says that's the only conversation they had about it. He says he didn't ask Joe whether he ever went ahead & accepted fees.— erica orden (@eorden) May 2, 2016
Cuomo says that when Percoco returned to the state payroll "obviously he stopped representing the other clients."— erica orden (@eorden) May 2, 2016

.@NYGovCuomo says when one leaves government they are allowed to represent private sector clients. No reason to say "who did you represent?"— Zack Fink (@ZackFinkNews) May 2, 2016
