Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has backed off from appointing a former federal judge to investigate claims of sexual harassment against him following reports that the judge had close ties to one of Cuomo’s closest allies.
The New York governor had announced Saturday that former federal judge Barbara S. Jones would investigate the harassment allegations from former Cuomo staffers Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett.
Amidst criticism over his choice, Cuomo announced Sunday that New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Janet DiFiore, who sits on New York’s highest court, would jointly choose who would investigate the allegations.
