NY lawmakers promise wide-ranging and lengthy impeachment investigation into Cuomo
CNN
A New York State Assembly committee that is conducting an impeachment investigation into Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo publicly met with attorneys for the first time on Tuesday and promised a wide-ranging review of his conduct, with a scope that will go beyond sexual harassment allegations and his handling of nursing home deaths due to Covid-19.
Judiciary Committee Chair Charles Lavine, a Democrat, told committee members and lawyers that the investigation will likely take "months, rather than weeks" and has no set deadline. Greg Andres, an attorney for the committee, said state Attorney General Letitia James' investigation into sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo might produce findings faster than the impeachment probe. "I think it's more of a recognition that there's a parallel process happening. We don't have control over that process, when that report would come out or not. And we won't necessarily gear our investigation solely on the timing of that report. I think we want to be aware of it, to the extent possible," Andres said.
The man said he was locked in an eight-by-nine-foot room and was fed two sandwiches a day with two cups of water for years, according to a police affidavit in Connecticut.
