Accuser’s Lawyer Says Andrew Cuomo Blatantly Interfering in Harassment Probe

Joshua Caplan 22 Mar 2021

A lawyer representing one of the women accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment says the Democrat leader is meddling in a state attorney general investigation into the scandal.

Lawyer Debra Katz, who represents former Cuomo staffer Charlotte Bennett, wrote a letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James in which she sharply criticized an Times Union report alleging that the Cuomo administration provided “in-house attorneys” to staffers ahead of possible questioning by independent investigators under James.

“It is my understanding that these attorneys are also ‘debriefing’ staffers after their interviews with investigators,” Katz wrote. “This is highly improper and we object in the strongest possible terms to this obvious interference with what you have stated would be a ‘thorough and independent’ investigation.”

She then warned that Cuomo’s team “will almost certainly deter those with relevant information” regarding Bennett’s accusations against the governor  and requested that the attorney general James order him “to cease this highly improper practice.”
