Gov. Andrew Cuomo's full resignation remarks: 'The best way I can help now is if I step aside'
ABC News
Andrew Cuomo has announced he will step down as governor of New York following mass calls for his resignation and a potential impeachment trial.
Andrew Cuomo has said he will step down as governor of New York after many called for his resignation and before a potential impeachment trial. Cuomo began his press conference Tuesday morning by continuing to defend himself against 11 women who've accused him of sexual harassment, stating that the report by New York Attorney General Letitia James was "false" and biased. The disgraced governor admitted that he "truly offended" the women but contended that there have been "generational and cultural shifts" that precluded him from understanding the necessity for "personal boundaries." "In my mind, I've never crossed the line with anyone," Cuomo said. "But I didn't realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn."More Related News
