Cuomo scandal: Who is paying for the embattled governor's legal defense?
Fox News
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his office have so far retained four law firms in the face of sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, as well as state and federal investigations — what remains unclear is who is footing the bill for the legal services.
"It is incumbent upon the agency to timely submit the contact for approval, and a vendor would be working at risk without the required approval from our office," spokesperson Matthew Ryan said. According to the Times Union, partners at the law firms Arnold & Porter and Walden Macht & Haran are representing Cuomo's Executive Chamber in the face of multiple sexual harassment allegations against the governor. The newspaper also reported that attorney Rita Glavin is representing Cuomo in his personal capacity regarding allegations that he groped a female staff member, and that the firm Morvillo Abramowitz is representing Cuomo's office in the face of a federal probe.More Related News
