ALBANY — The state ethics committee that investigated sexual harassment allegations against Assemblyman Vito Lopez mysteriously omitted from its final report a document that is highly embarrassing to embattled Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, the Daily News has learned.

The document — a Feb. 14, 2012, email sent to Assembly lawyers from an attorney representing two Lopez staffers who accused Lopez of groping them — suggests Silver had an inappropriate relationship with a top aide.

The email, obtained by The News, claims Lopez “repeatedly” told one of the women “that he wanted their relationship to be the same as Mr. Silver’s to his Chief of Staff and was explicit in what that meant.”
