On March 10, 2008, Spitzer was exposed as a client of a very high priced [[prostitution]] ring.

Bruno's whereabouts when he traveled with police escorts in New York City. At the direction of top officials of the Spitzer administration, the New York State Police created documents meant to cause political damage to Bruno.
