john, your mic is open. >> hi, attorney general. it's tough to hear some of the questions, so some of these might be repeats here. the investigation into the governor's book deal as well as the staff resources that were used on that, does that remain ongoing? is that separate from this? is that still ongoing? also, can you make some sort of referral to the prosecutor's office based on the report today or is that something they have to pick up the ball on, on their own? >> the investigation with respect to the book and whether or not public resources were used is ongoing and separate from this investigation. criminal jurisdiction is usually conveyed upon the office of attorney general. usually we get our request under the executive law and at this point in time our work is concluded and we will not be engaging in any criminal investigation with respect to the conduct of the governor of the state of new york. >> our second question is from josh dossy from the "new york post." josh, your mic is open. josh, you have to unmute your line.
