ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The lawyer for an investment company that paid former state Senate leader Joseph Bruno to generate business says their files contained none of the disclosure statements the lawmaker was required to present to clients.
Testifying at Bruno's federal corruption trial, Helen George said Security and Exchange Commission rules required Bruno to tell unions he was getting paid by Wright Investors Service when he solicited pension fund investments from them.

George acknowledges the company was responsible for maintaining client files.
