A 35-year-old New York state trooper who served as one of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s bodyguards either voluntarily chose or got a present from Cuomo when he reportedly started a relationship with Cuomo’s 25-year-old daughter: reassignment near the Canadian border, roughly 130 miles from his home.

Trooper Dane Pfeiffer and Cuomo’s daughter Cara Kennedy-Cuomo apparently started seeing each other roughly seven months ago when Pfeiffer was part of Cuomo’s Albany security detail and she was living in the Executive Mansion because of the COVID-19 pandemic. State police told the Daily Mail, “Trooper Pfeiffer requested a voluntary transfer to Troop B this past May, stating that he wanted to gain more field experience and further his career advancement track to the rank of sergeant. Such requests are routine, and it was granted.”
