New York Assembly Suspends Cuomo Impeachment Investigation
Newsy
Following Cuomo's resignation, speaker of the Assembly Judiciary Committee said it can't impeach an elected official who is no longer in office.
The New York state Assembly will suspend its impeachment investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo once he steps down, the chamber's top Democrat said Friday. Cuomo announced his resignation on Tuesday over sexual harassment allegations, days after he faced increasing pressure to resign or face the possibility of being ousted by the Democratic-controlled Legislature through the impeachment process. He said at the time that it would not take effect for 14 days. The state attorney general last week released an independent investigation that found Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women.More Related News
