Cuomo slams accusers for going public amid sexual harassment probes: 'That's not fair'
Fox News
Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo criticized his accusers who have gone public amid ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct, arguing they had impacted the fairness of the process by speaking out.
"Theoretically, the way it’s supposed to work is the AG and the assembly say we’re doing a review, they then do the review and the review is done privately," Cuomo said during a press conference. "Here, what has happened is the complainants have continued to go to the press and make their complaint in the press. I have not been able to respond. That’s not fair and it’s not right. So I’m trying to be respectful, but I’m very eager to tell my side of the story." New York State Attorney General Letitia James and the New York State Assembly’s Judiciary Committee are investigating the allegations against Cuomo, who has yet to be interviewed in connection to their inquiry. Cuomo’s office also faces separate investigations into claims that officials covered up the extent of New York’s COVID-19 nursing home crisis. Cuomo has resisted calls for his resignation from top New York Democrats, including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who said during a television interview earlier in the day that the governor "can’t continue to lead" and "just has to go."More Related News
