Watch Live: Governor Andrew Cuomo's attorney holds briefing amid impeachment inquiry
CBSN
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's outside counsel Rita Glavin is holding a news briefing on Tuesday, the governor announced. The briefing is being held amid growing calls for Cuomo's resignation after an independent investigation by Attorney General Letitia James found that he sexually harassed 11 women, including staffers and women who did not work for his administration.
The New York Assembly Judiciary Committee said Monday that it is wrapping up its impeachment inquiry into Cuomo. He has until Friday to submit any evidence. Brittany Commisso, one of the women who is referenced in the report, told "CBS This Morning" and the Albany Times Union that she believes Cuomo knows he broke the law and he needs to be "held accountable."Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
The knock at the door came at nighttime on Mother's Day 2008 in Oregon, where Jessica Ellis' parents lived. It was around 9:20 p.m. and his wife, Linda, was already in bed; her father Steve Ellis told CBS News, that he thought someone let their animals out — but two soldiers in Class A uniforms were standing at the door.
