the two investigators that were charged with this report certainly and it comes through when you read it they brought their own biases and a predisposition to this investigation and the manner in which the report was written. mr. kim is a long-time former federal prosecutor from the southern district, my old office. mr. kim had pursued and supervised criminal investigations against the governor for years at that office. and he actually personally interviewed him. personally interviewed governor cuomo in one of the criminal investigations. of course he brought to the table certain views about the governor, feelings he had about how the chamber operated. how could he not? and with respect to ms. clark, as an attorney her practice is
did what those people have to say bear upon any of the allegations that they included? the governor deserved to have a full and balanced report that laid it all out. but the report doesn t identify who the witnesses were, what they said, and what they were asked. i want to talk also about trooper number one. the report does corroborate that the governor supported trooper one s transfer to his detail to increase diversity among the detail members. please read that portion of the report at page 35 because when you read the narrative of the report, it makes it sound as though he wanted this trooper on his detail to sexually harass her and that just was not true. there is another member of the
chamber or the governor himself had engaged in that conduct, that would be another 10 pages of the report and i m sure i would have received another subpoena from the assembly. they also did not deliberately choose to investigate communications that occurred between lindsey boylen s campaign in december 2020. she first made these allegations about two weeks after she announced she was running for manhattan borough president. in that time period there were communications between the attorney general s chief of staff and ms. boylen s top campaign consultant. there were a number of conversations about what ms. boylen was saying and what was going on in the campaign. one of ms. boylen s top media consultants resigned when she made these allegations.
moments ago. the infrastructure bill has passed with enough votes and now at the same time the governor of the state of new york andrew cuomo. that was the headline people heard and saw and reacted to. the reaction was outrage. it should have been. however, it was also false. my lawyers, as you just heard from, have reviewed the report over the past several days and have already raised serious issues and flaws that should concern all new yorkers because when there is a bias or a lack of fairness in the justice system, it is a concern for everyone. not just those immediately affected. the most serious allegations made against me have no credible factual basis in the report.
the governor did not mean to grope her and certainly there were pictures from this event. those pictures haven t been provided to me and they were not part of the attorney general s report. but this particular instance to say that the governor would try to grope somebody working a rope line with cameras around, he certainly would never have intended to do that. and i don t mean to take away from how this woman felt, but we do need to think about qualitatively what each of the women are saying and whether these are the types of things that are impeachable offenses. there is another allegation and it was by analysts on the report that starts at page 82. she talks about being at a party and that the governor
