Cuomo Sexual-Harassment Claims Backed Up by N.Y. Assembly Report

New York’s Assembly Judiciary Committee released its report on former Governor Andrew Cuomo, finding that he engaged in multiple counts of sexual harassment and misused state resources to promote his book.

Many of the findings corroborate those by state Attorney General Letitia James. Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing. A spokesman for the former governor did not immediately return a request for comment.

“This has been a profoundly sad chapter in New York’s history,” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat, said in releasing the report. “As we have throughout this process, we will continue to cooperate with all relevant investigative bodies to provide them with the evidence we have uncovered.”

The committee began its investigation in March to determine whether Cuomo should remain in office. The committee does not have the legal authority to impeach him now that he’s no longer in office, according to the report.
