The governor is under investigation to determine if he used state resources to write or promote the memoir.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is expected to earn more than $5 million for his beleaguered book about his efforts to lead New York during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to tax filings he released Monday. The tax returns, details of which were obtained by local media outlets, show Cuomo was paid $3.12 million in 2020 by Crown Publishing as part of his contract for the book, “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons From the COVID-19 Pandemic,” which was published in October. He netted about $1.5 million after taxes and expenses from that sum and donated a third, or $500,000, to the United Way of New York State for coronavirus pandemic “recovery and vaccination efforts.” The remaining $1 million was placed in a trust for his daughters, his office told reporters. The governor is also expected to be paid $2 million more in installments over the next two years as part of his contract, according to media reports.More Related News
