One day after the New York State Attorney General released a report finding Governor Andrew Cuomo violated multiple state and federal laws by sexually harassing 11 women, the governor faces four new criminal probes and more calls to step down.
In addition to the Albany County District Attorney, who says a criminal investigation is ongoing, the DA’s in Westchester and Nassau counties, also as the Manhattan DA, have requested documents from the Attorney General to launch possible criminal probes.
There’s also an ongoing federal investigation into the governor’s handling of nursing home policies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
All major elected officials from President Joe Biden to the leader of the state’s Democratic Party, Jay Jacobs, have now joined calls for Cuomo to resign. An overnight poll from Marist College finds 59% of New Yorkers, including 52% of Democrats, now believe the governor should leave office.
As criminal probes begin, pressure mounts on Cuomo to resign or be impeached

NEW YORK (AP) A second former aide has come forward with sexual harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who responded with a statement Saturday saying he never made advances toward her and never intended to be inappropriate.
Charlotte Bennett, a health policy adviser in the Democratic governor s administration until November, told The New York Times that Cuomo asked her inappropriate questions about her sex life, including whether she had ever had sex with older men.
Another former aide, Lindsey Boylan, a former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to the governor, recently accused Cuomo of subjecting her to an unwanted kiss and inappropriate comments. Cuomo denied the allegations.
