CNN anchor Chris Cuomo advised his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations — a breach of traditional journalistic ethics that the news network described as "inappropriate."
The Washington Post, which broke the news Thursday afternoon, reported that Cuomo encouraged his brother against resigning during strategy sessions with the governor's communications team and lawyers. Several prominent Democratic lawmakers have encouraged the governor to resign in light of multiple allegations of sexual harassment. Gov. Cuomo apologized in early March for "making anyone feel uncomfortable," but maintained he "never touched anyone inappropriately."
Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
