After Cuomo’s Closest Aides Testify, Now It’s His Turn
The New York Times
Investigators are focused on accusations of sexual harassment against the governor, as well as on the broader workplace culture in his office.
When investigators from the New York State attorney general’s office face Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for the first time on Saturday, they will do so with an abundance of testimony and evidence. Over the past four months, lawyers investigating sexual harassment claims against Mr. Cuomo have interviewed the women who have accused him, members of his security detail and other witnesses. They have also subpoenaed a cache of state records and have collected messages and data from Blackberry devices of his senior staff members, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Most recently, investigators questioned Mr. Cuomo’s closest aides and confidantes, including Melissa DeRosa, secretary to the governor; Beth Garvey, his acting counsel; Judith Mogul, special counsel; Richard Azzopardi, a senior adviser; and Larry Schwartz, a former top aide, according to a person familiar with the matter.More Related News
