Ex-state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and his son Adam filed papers Friday seeking dismissal of two of their eight federal corruption charges.
Charges related to Skelos using his power to get an environmental technology firm to pay Adam $200,000 should be tossed because they’re based on Adam’s “admittedly false or seriously exaggerated statements’ to the company about what his father was doing on its behalf,” the Manhattan federal court papers state.
Evidence from wiretaps of Adam’s cell phone should be suppressed because the taps were “a fishing expedition,” the court papers add.
Skelos also accused prosecutors of leaking secret grand jury information to reporters. A Manhattan US Attorney spokesman declined comment.
