A judge has ordered the release of Eliot Spitzer’s trove of missives from a private e-mail account that he used as New York attorney general to conduct official business in secret.
The undisclosed e-mails relate to his Wall Street crackdown in 2005, when he extracted hundreds of millions in penalties from big banks, as well as his toppling of insurance titan Hank Greenberg as head of AIG for alleged financial wrongdoing.
State Supreme Court Justice Christopher Cahill in Albany ordered the attorney general’s office to release Spitzer’s private e-mails. A copy of the order, issued two weeks ago to state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, was obtained by The Post.
