Calls grow for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's resignation, including from President Biden, after probe finds he sexually harassed 11 women and worked to retaliate against one of his accusers
The report detailed, for the first time, allegations that Cuomo sexually harassed a female state trooper on his security detail. It said that the governor ran his hand or fingers across her stomach and her back, kissed her on the cheek, asked for her help in finding a girlfriend and asked why she didn’t wear a dress.
“These brave women stepped forward to speak truth to power and, in doing so, they expressed faith in the belief that although the governor may be powerful, the truth is even more so," Kim said at the press conference. After Boylan first made her allegations public in December, the Cuomo administration undercut her story by releasing personnel memos to media outlets revealing that Boylan resigned after she was confronted about complaints she belittled and yelled at her staff.Boylan has said those records “were leaked to the media in an effort to smear me.”
In an 11-hour interview with investigators last month, Cuomo admitted to certain behavior while denying other allegations, investigators said. For example, Clark said, he conceded asking Bennett whether she had been involved with older men and said he may have kissed the state trooper at an event but denied touching her.
In recent months, he’s taken a more combative tack, saying he did nothing wrong and questioning the motives of accusers and critics. The Assembly hired its own legal team to investigate Cuomo’s conduct, plus other allegations of wrongdoing. The legislature is looking into the help Cuomo got from senior aides to write a book about the pandemic, special access to Covid-19 testing for Cuomo's relatives last year, and the administration’s decision to withhold some data on nursing home deaths from the public for several months.
