NEW YORK — Newly obtained investigative documents reveal former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer name-dropped a powerful friend named “Bill” to cops investigating a bloody encounter with a Russian woman in Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel in 2016.
“Do you know who I am?” Spitzer asked NYPD cops who had just arrived at the hotel room.
“Do I need to call Bill?” Spitzer added, apparently referring to then-Police Department Commissioner Bill Bratton.
