Dating Cuomo’s daughter merited trooper discipline

A New York state trooper should have been disciplined for getting romantically involved with then-gov. Andrew Cuomo’s adult daughter while serving on the Democrat’s security detail, the state inspector general said in a report.

The watchdog report released Friday comes two years after the relationship — and the trooper’s apparent banishment to a post near the Canadian border — became public.

There was public speculation at the time that Cuomo had personally ordered the trooper transferred to a post about 150 miles north of the governor’s mansion because he was upset about the relationship.
