White House reacts to Cuomo resignation, praises 'courageous women who came forward'

The White House on Tuesday reacted to the resignation of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo amid allegations of sexual harassment, praising the "courageous women who came forward."

"The president made clear his views last week, and those stand," Psaki said, when asked for President Biden’s reaction. "Our view is that this is a story about these courageous women who came forward, told their stories, shared their stories, and an investigation overseen by the attorney general, that, of courses concluded today, in an outcome that the president called for just last week."  The president, last week, called for Cuomo's resignation, following the release of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ months-long investigation which concluded that the governor sexually harassed at least 11 women.
