A lengthy investigation into a variety of allegations against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has found "overwhelming evidence" that Cuomo "engaged in sexual harassment."
The investigation, which was authorized by the New York State Assembly Judiciary Committee, also concluded Cuomo's staff devoted state resources to the production of his 2020 memoir and "substantially revised" state COVID-19 reports "to combat criticisms" of Cuomo's handling of nursing homes battling the pandemic.
The law firm that conducted the investigation, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, was hired in March as part of an impeachment probe on the Assembly's behalf, but that effort was halted after Cuomo resigned in August. Cuomo's nearly three-term tenure crashed a week after a separate investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James accused him of sexually harassing 11 women.
Pennsylvania was a pivotal state in the 2020 presidential election, sealing Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump after four days of vote counting. So it's no surprise the Keystone State is again front and center this election cycle, with both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump investing time and resources there ahead of Election Day.
