Gov. Kathy Hochul removes Cuomo administration staffers implicated in sexual harassment report.
The day after he announced he'd resign, she vowed to fire anyone connected to the report who contributed to the culture of sexual harassment.
Several Cuomo aides and staffers implicated in the report, including former secretary Melissa DeRosa and former Financial Services Superintendent Linda Lacewell, had already left state government. DeRosa, considered one of Cuomo's top confidantes, stepped down just days before the governor announced his resignation. Lacewell left her position on Tuesday, the same day as Cuomo.
When asked how the culture will change now that she's at the helm, Hochul told MSNBC,"Anyone who crosses the line will be addressed by me."
