New York’s attorney general is proceeding with an investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment made against Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The governor’s office authorized the probe, clearing the way for the hiring of an independent law firm to conduct the inquiry.
“Today, the executive chamber transmitted a referral letter to our office, providing us the authority to move forward with an independent investigation into allegations of sexual harassment claims made against Governor Cuomo,” Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. “This is not a responsibility we take lightly as allegations of sexual harassment should always be taken seriously.”
The investigation’s findings will be disclosed in a public report.
