The New York governor, who is set to leave office on Tuesday, criticized a reporter at a Hurricane Henri press briefing.
"Justice is, I hear the complaint and welcome everyone to come forward, and that takes courage and that takes bravery. But we need to know the facts," he told the reporter."I can make a complaint about you today, maybe it's true. Maybe it's not true. But that's why they do investigations."
Cuomo will leave office on Tuesday, less than one month after New York Attorney General Letitia James released aand violated federal and state law. James said during a press conference on August 3 that her findings painted a"deeply disturbing, yet clear, picture." Cuomo announced his resignation on August 10. Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul is set to replace him on Tuesday.
New York State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Assembly Judiciary Chair Charles Lavine said in joint statement Monday:"The Assembly Judiciary Committee will continue to review evidence and issue a final report on its investigation of Governor Cuomo.
