A powerful federal prosecutor on Wednesday reiterated his pledge to pick up where Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s anti-corruption commission left off.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who oversees New York’s Southern District, appeared on PBS’ “Charlie Rose” late Wednesday, where he discussed his views on prosecuting, case selection and his role in policing Wall Street.

Late in the interview, Rose briefly asked Bharara about his previous criticism of Cuomo for abruptly shutting down the Moreland Commission in March. Cuomo had appointed the panel nine months earlier with a charge of investigating public corruption in New York.
