State Police Superintendent Harry J. Corbitt will step down from his post tomorrow, sources told The Post tonight.
The move comes a day after Corbitt was grilled by state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is looking into the role Gov. Paterson’s administration might have played in getting a woman to back off of domestic abuse charges against top aide.

Corbitt was hand picked by Paterson to run the troopers.
State police called the woman who reported the abuse, Sherr-una Booker, even though they had no jurisdiction over the case.
Booker said David Johnson, one of Paterson’s top aides, assaulted her.
Along with the State Police intervention, two Paterson aides also called Booker, sources have told The Post, with one even trying to get her to downplay the incident.
Booker later decline to proceed with her charges.
