NY Assembly report corroborates Cuomo harassment claims

The New York Assembly's Judiciary Committee has released a report on its investigation into misconduct claims against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), detailing "overwhelming evidence" that he engaged in sexual harassment while in office, among other findings.
The 63-page document, released on Monday, corroborates claims investigated by Attorney General Letitia James, whose office released a bombshell report in August on its findings of sexual harassment. Cuomo, who has denied any wrongdoing, announced his resignation a week after that report was released.
The New York Assembly investigation found multiple incidents of harassment and misconduct, and accused Cuomo of creating a hostile work environment during his time as governor, according to the report. The report also found that Cuomo used state resources and property including members of the executive chamber staff to write, publish and promote his book detailing his time as governor during the COVID-19 crisis.
The report further stated that Cuomo was not “fully transparent” regarding the number of nursing home residents who died from COVID-19.
The report was completed by lawyers from the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, LLP.
