Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose tenure in Albany ended last August after a sexual harassment probe from the state attorney general’s office, announced Thursday he plans to file formal ethics complaints against Attorney General Letitia James and the lawyers who led the independent investigation into the harassment allegations.
In a press conference, Cuomo attorney Rita Glavin said Cuomo would personally file the complaints himself as he claims James and Joon Kim and Anne Clarke all committed prosecutorial misconduct.
“The governor feels strongly that there was misconduct in the manner in which this investigation was conducted,” Glavin said. “And he thinks that the attorney grievance committee should look at this, which is why he personally is going to do the complaint.”
Glavin would not speculate on what action the committee may take. Still, she noted it can censure lawyers and suspend licenses.
That report said 11 women who made complaints against the then-governor were credible. However, a Cuomo spokesperson pointed out prosecutors in the counties where the alleged incidents took place all decided against pursuing criminal charges.
