NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo gives farewell address: A timeline of the sexual harassment allegations

Cuomo has been accused of inappropriate behavior by multiple women.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave a farewell address to constituents on Monday, two weeks after announcing his resignation and questioning the fairness of an investigation by State Attorney General Letitia James that found he sexually harassed multiple women, including current and former state employees. "Let me say now that when government politicizes allegations and the headlines condemn without facts, you undermine the justice system and that doesn't serve women and it doesn't serve men or society," Cuomo said. "I understand that there are moments of intense political pressure and media frenzy that cause a rush to judgment, but that is not right. It's not fair or sustainable. Facts still matter." He went on to criticize James' 168-page report -- which included claims from 11 women, including one he allegedly retaliated against -- comparing it to a firecracker that causes a stampede. "The attorney general's report was designed to be a political firecracker on an explosive topic and it worked. There was a political and media stampede but the truth will (come) out in time. Of that I am confident," Cuomo said.
