ALBANY — Governor Spitzer yesterday said investigators will review records cited in a published report that show the Senate majority leader, Joseph Bruno, used state aircraft to attend Republican fundraisers in Manhattan.

A Spitzer spokesman, Darren Dopp, said investigators from the state attorney general’s office and for the Albany County district attorney’s Office, asked for the documents that are stored with the executive branch. Mr. Dopp said investigators will review the records to see if Mr. Bruno’s stated reason for use of the state helicopter — “legislative business meetings” — was valid.
