ALBANY — Fundraiser extraordinaire Gov. Andrew Cuomo claims he “doesn’t know” when he meets with lobbyists.

“I’m sure, from time to time I meet with lobbyists. I really don’t know who’s a lobbyist, who’s not a lobbyist … but I’m sure that I’ve met with lobbyists,” Cuomo said during a WNYC radio interview Tuesday.

The governor hauled in big bucks from a $25,000-per-plate soiree in March and has scheduled several big fundraisers through the spring. The attendees are typically lobbyists with big business interests before the state.

Cuomo has been surrounded by lobbyists his entire life.

Former lobbyist Todd Howe, who was close to both Cuomo and his dad, the late Gov. Mario Cuomo, earned as much as $750,000 a year before pleading guilty to eight felonies and turning state’s evidence in a sprawling public corruption case.

David Weinraub of Albany’s Brown & Weinraub, PLLC, was legislative director for Mario Cuomo.

Lobbyist Tonio Burgos was the former governor’s appointments secretary.

Maggie Moran, managing partner for Kivvit’s national arm, was senior adviser to Andrew Cuomo’s attorney general run in 2010. Abbey Collins, Kivvit’s New York director, was his 2018 campaign press secretary.

Mercury LLC’s Charlie King was Cuomo’s running mate in 2002 for lieutenant governor.

Giorgio DeRosa, a top executive at Bolton St. Johns, is the father of Cuomo’s top aide Melissa DeRosa.

Cuomo wasn’t eager to discuss the issue — deflecting a question about Mayor Bill de Blasio’s shady fundraising practices.

“I don’t comment on another elected official’s policies,” Cuomo said.

“If you can be influenced by a contribution, then you are unethical. You are possibly violating the law, you are violating public trust and you have no business being in elected office.”
