Disgraced state Sen. Malcolm Smith does not plan to step down even though feds say they caught him on tape scheming to pay off pols to get on the mayoral ticket.
“He’s not resigning,” his attorney, Gerald Shargel, told The Post after a two-hour meeting with his client in Midtown.
Smith said nothing as he left the office and got into a black SUV.
Smith was nailed thanks to shady Monsey real-estate investor Moses Stern, who wore a wire during meetings with the senator and City Council member Dan Halloran.
The two met through a rabbi, who vouched for Stern as a prominent fund-raiser.
Bronx GOP chairman Joseph Savino — who also was netted in the probe and was already on the feds’ radar for a 2010 corruption case in Yonkers that toppled its city council president — introduced Halloran to Stern, said a source.
