David Paterson reportedly directed two employees to call the woman who tried without success to file an order of protection against aide David Johnson.

It’s the lead story on The Times front page.

The Times also has an audio recording of the woman in court complaining about the state police harassing her.

Marissa Shorenstein and Deneane Brown allegedly reached out to the victim, at Peterson’s request.

Paterson had “multiple” conversations with aides about the scandal.

Paterson said the probe focused on his aide, not him.

Tom Precious: Paterson is “trying to hold on to his job.”

Danny O’Donnell: “I ache for the return of dysfunction. Dysfunction had its problems, but at least dysfunction has function in its title. We are not functioning at all.”

Paterson: The next Democratic governor will “start copying literally everything I’m doing—and probably calling me to ask.”

Is Paterson still working?
