Current Events > NY AG reports that Cuomo harassed multiple women, retaliated against complaints

(+) Yeah! (+)

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and then retaliated against a former employee who complained publicly about his conduct, according to a bombshell report that will be released Tuesday by state Attorney General Letitia James.

James report will also say that Cuomos office was riddled with fear and intimidation, and was a hostile work environment for many staffers.

The monthslong probe concluded that Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, and in doing so violated federal and state law, James said at a press conference Tuesday morning.

The announcement came about two weeks after Cuomo was interviewed by investigators retained by James office for the probe. Cuomo was reportedly questioned for 11 hours.

The probe into numerous womens allegations of sexual harassment by Cuomo began in March, after the states executive chamber granted James request to investigate.

Later that same month, dozens of Democratic state lawmakers including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, with whom Cuomo has long had a fraught relationship urged the governor to resign.

New York Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, also a Democrat, in mid-March authorized a panel to launch an impeachment investigation into the harassment claims and other allegations of wrongdoing by Cuomo, including whether his staff tried to hide or alter data on coronavirus deaths in New York nursing homes.

So what are the odds of a successful prosecution?

But what about Trump or Republicans?
