During today's torrential rains, your cheap bodega umbrella wasn't the only thing leaking: reader Johanna Clearfield, who was headed to Brooklyn, passed along this video of the Fulton Street A/C subway stop leaking water on one side of the platform. MTA workers are herding passengers through the soaked area, telling them to "keep going" lest the stone above begins to crumble. more ›

Back in September 2009, the FBI and NYPD raided Queens homes because of a plot to bomb the NYC subway system. While suspects were arrested—and later convicted—tensions emerged between the two agencies because a police officer showed photographs of "persons of interest" to an imam who tipped off suspects, forcing the FBI to act early. Now, numerous of NYPD detectives are being called to testify in front of a grand jury about the leaks. more ›

As Dominique Strauss-Kahn sits in his new luxurious house arrest abode (complete with blingy mob movie art), his lawyers are now claiming they have evidence that could "gravely undermine" the Manhattan DA's sexual assault case against the former head of the IMF.

Earlier today, Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, was accused of molestation and rape in Sweden. But then the Swedish prosecutors changed their minds! At first, according to the Guardian, "Swedish authorities have issued an arrest warrant" and a spokeswoman for Swedish prosecutors "said Assange should contact the Swedish police for questioning about the accusations of molestation and rape in two separate cases 'so that he can be confronted with the suspicions'." However, Assange says, via the WikiLeaks Twitter, "the charges are without basis and their issue at this moment is deeply disturbing." And now, the warrant has been revoked! more ›

Well, nine months later, Paterson won't have to face heat over that, because the state's Ethics Panel doesn't think there's anything to it. more ›

The NY Times reports that three watchdog groups are urging the NY State ethics panel to investigate leaks that came as Caroline Kennedy's Senate bid unraveled. Per a letter, the groups say "the commission needs to determine whether the Paterson administration violated state laws by leaking confidential information about Ms. Kennedy as part of a political strategy aimed at deflecting blame for her withdrawal." After Kennedy decided not to seek Hillary Clinton's vacated Senate seat, sources from Governor Paterson's office offered a myriad of reasons why Paterson never going to choose her anyway; one told the Post that "the governor 'had no intention' of picking Caroline Kennedy for New York's vacant senate seat - because she was 'mired' in an issue over taxes, her nanny and possibly her marriage." Paterson even admitted the leaks were from his staff, but claimed not to know who made them. The watchdog groups think a probe would help "[clear] the executive chamber from a lingering ethical taint or [vindicate] the public’s interest by restoring integrity to the appointment process.” more ›
