Cuomo-Trump feud continues, with governor dismissing claim of 'puppet prosecutors'

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.
