BREAKING: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo found to have sexually harassed multiple women, the New York state attorney general says after a four-month probe.
Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand have joined the growing chorus of voices urging the governor to step down after accusations of sexual harassment.New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was found to have sexually harassed multiple women, including current and former state employees, New York State Attorney General Letitia James announced Tuesday morning after a four-month probe into the allegations.
In at least one instance, the investigation determined that the governor sought to retaliate against a woman who leveled accusations against him. According to James, the probe found that Cuomo and his staff fostered a toxic work environment -- though Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing and has sought in recent weeks to cast doubt on the integrity of the investigation.
Once considered a leading voice among national Democrats for his aggressive response to the coronavirus pandemic, Cuomo has suffered a meteoric fall from grace in recent months under a deluge of negative headlines.
