Gov. Cuomo will be jobless, but has $2M from book earnings coming in

Gov. Andrew Cuomo will be leaving office in disgrace and amid a potential onslaught of legal troubles — but with a multimillion-dollar cushion to ease his way.

Cuomo’s controversial, $5.1 million deal for his memoir, “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,” includes $2 million in payouts this year and next, according to a financial disclosure form made public in May. The Democrat — who announced his resignation on Tuesday in the middle of a sexual harassment scandal that was leading to his likely impeachment — was paid $3.1 million last year, according to tax returns he also released.
