Trump accused Cuomo of having "puppet New York prosecutors" investigate him, perhaps referring to the Manhattan District Attorney's office, which has been trying to enforce a subpoena to get the president's tax returns. Cuomo denied this and accused Trump of being the one with his own puppet.
"We don't have puppet prosecutors in New York, I don't appoint the prosecutors,"
Cuomo said during a conference call. "The president appoints puppet prosecutors. He appoints William Barr, who I understand from the president's point of view, yes William Barr is his puppet. Yes, William Barr is a prosecutor. That doesn't happen in New York. That's a federal situation."
Cuomo then continued, defending the Manhattan DA's investigation.
