Lawmakers Will Issue a Report on Cuomo Impeachment Inquiry After All
The New York Times
After criticism, the New York State Assembly said it would continue its investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo instead of suspending it. That does not mean lawmakers will move to impeach him.
Reversing course, the New York State Assembly will continue its broad investigation into Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and issue a report with its findings, lawmakers said on Monday, following fierce bipartisan backlash over the decision to suspend the inquiry. Carl E. Heastie, the speaker of the Assembly, had announced on Friday that lawmakers would close their investigation into Mr. Cuomo and would no longer move to impeach him, despite finding “credible evidence” regarding allegations made against him. Mr. Heastie, a Democrat, made the announcement days after Mr. Cuomo said that he would resign, citing constitutional concerns with impeaching a governor who was leaving office. The reversal on Monday does not mean that lawmakers will move to impeach Mr. Cuomo; Mr. Heastie had cited a six-page legal memo on Friday that argued that lawmakers lacked the constitutional authority to impeach an official who was out of office. Indeed, there is no precedent in New York for impeaching a former governor.
