Cuomo in 'fighting mood' even as aides try to convince him to resign
CNN
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's closest confidants spent the weekend trying to convince the Democrat to resign, sources tell CNN, an effort that comes amid fallout from a report that found he sexually harassed multiple women.
Cuomo, a source said, can't come to grips with the end of his time in office, telling his inner circle: "I need more time." Another source in close touch with the governor's close advisers said, "no one in his inner circle of friends or staff" believed, as of last week, that Cuomo would survive politically and must resign or face impeachment. Despite the consensus, "he thinks he can wait it out," that source said.
Back in March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeted at the Smithsonian Institution that began as follows: “Over the past decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”
