Albany, NY - NY Post Gets Subpoenas Over Pataki Tapes

Albany, NY - The New York Post is complying with federal subpoenas issued in connection with newspaper reports about recorded telephone conversations involving Gov. George Pataki, his wife, top aides and others.

One subpoena asked the Post for the audio tape containing the conversations and the envelope it came to the Post in. A second subpoena seeks grand jury testimony from the Post's state editor, Fredric U. Dicker, who wrote about the conversations in August after receiving the tape anonymously.
"They have already turned the tapes over to the FBI. They have met with the FBI and they are fully cooperating," Post spokesman Howard Rubenstein said.
