New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is set to earn $5.1 million from his memoir about leading New York through the COVID-19 pandemic, according to information provided by his office on Monday. Cuomo received $3,120,000 in gross income from the book in 2020 and is set to be paid an additional $2 million over the next two years.
Cuomo's book, "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic," was announced in August 2020 after he became a national figure for his blunt COVID-19 briefings early in the COVID-19 crisis when New York was the epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S. According to Cuomo's office, the governor received $1,537,508 after taxes from the book in 2020. About one-third of that was donated to the United Way, while the rest is going to his daughters.
Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
