committee and my majority colleagues understand the gravity of the situation we find ourselves in today. future generations will look to us and how we conducted ourselves in this moment. our members have no confidence in the ability of the governor to remain in office. i think that s the universal sentiment that we have. meanwhile, there are two resignations to tell you about in the last 24 hours stemming from that painstakingly detailed a.g. report. governor cuomo s most trusted adviser melissa derosa and the chairman of time s up, roberta kaplan, were noted in the report as being involved in an effort against the first cuomo accuser, lindsey boylan. tim o brien is still with us and joyce vance is with us. tim, i will get to you in a

If you committed a crime, you can be prosecuted, that s true, but what President Biden said was, we should do an investigation, Cuomo said. The question to President Biden starts with, Do you think the governor should resign or do you think should there a review first? And the president said, There should be a review.
