New York attorney general expanding Cuomo investigation: report
By John Bowden - 05/09/21 02:24 PM EDT
Officials with New York Attorney General Letitia James's (D) office have expanded a probe into Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (D) sexual misconduct allegations, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
Several people familiar with the investigation told the newspaper that the AG's office has interviewed at least three people who were contacted after the initial allegations against Cuomo were reported publicly. The three people said a former top adviser tasked with overseeing the state's vaccination program had contacted them to gauge loyalty to the governor.
Both the governor's office and AG's office declined to comment officially on the report, according to the Journal. The governor has faced mounting pressure to resign from Democratic lawmakers in the Democratic-led state, but has remained defiant and pledged to remain in his post while James's investigation continues.
Cuomo has denied the sexual misconduct allegations but has admitted that some of his comments may have made some women uncomfortable.
