“Since Thursday, Chairman Lavine led a vigorous search for a top-flight firm to assist with the investigation. I have the utmost faith that Assemblymember Lavine and our Judiciary Committee will conduct a full and fair investigation,” Heastie said in a statement. “Hiring Davis Polk will give the Committee the experience, independence and resources needed to handle this important investigation in a thorough and expeditious manner.”
Leaders in the Democrat-controlled Assembly announced Thursday that they would conduct an impeachment investigation into allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior by Cuomo, also a Democrat.
Attorney General Letitia James is also investigating claims that the governor sexually harassed or inappropriately touched several female aides.
Cuomo has denied touching any women inappropriately and has rebuffed calls for his resignation.
President Joe Biden said in an interview with ABC News on Tuesday that Cuomo should resign if the state attorney general’s investigation confirms the claims against him.
Now it turns out the Coumo was actually a horrible covid enforcer. He used selective enforcement depending on how it rubbed his ego and he was ineffective since people read thru his bogus ego enforcement. Stevenn your man is going down ! LOL
Will they do a full investigation or will they cover it up for him? Just remember part of this team was on mueller phony trump investigation and all where caught lying by congress does a tiger loose it’s strips or a leopard it’s spots.
