Future of Cuomo impeachment inquiry in doubt after resignation

Sexual harassment scandals. COVID-19 nursing home deaths. Safety at the massive bridge project named for his father. And a $5 million book deal. The scope of the impeachment inquiry into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was four scandals he faced in the past year and a half — but now the fate of the inquiry remains unclear after his sudden resignation on Tuesday.

Matt Cantor, a spokesperson for Assembly Judiciary Committee chair Charles Lavine, said in a text message Tuesday that it's even unclear what the committee will do at its next scheduled impeachment inquiry hearing, on August 16. "Far as we know the hearing is still on but we don't have confirmation of the start time or details of what will happen," Cantor said.
