A 2nd Cuomo Investigation Is Expected to Confirm Harassment Claims

The final report, expected in October, could revive calls for lawmakers to impeach Andrew Cuomo, the former governor, to prevent him from running again, though that seems unlikely.

In the weeks before and after his resignation as governor, Andrew M. Cuomo defended his behavior, deflected blame and tried to discredit Letitia James, the state attorney general who concluded that he had sexually harassed multiple women while in office.

As Ms. James put it this week, Mr. Cuomo “has never taken responsibility for his own conduct.”

“He has never held himself accountable for how his behavior affected our state government,” Ms. James, a fellow Democrat, said on Wednesday during a breakfast with powerful business and civic leaders in Manhattan.
