ALBANY Attorneys for one of the women who have accused Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of sexual harassment said the investigation that will be handled by two private attorneys, including a former acting U.S. attorney for New York s Southern District, should include an examination of whether the governor s office violated laws or regulations in handling their client s complaint.
The politicians breaking ranks with Cuomo and asking him to resign include a batch of progressive Democrats in the Legislature as well as Kathleen Rice, a Democratic member of Congress from Long Island. Many Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt, have called for Cuomo s resignation.
But McLaughlin has faced high-profile complaints of his own.
In September 2017, amid McLaughlin s initial run for county executive, the Times Union published audio of a female legislative aide on the phone with McLaughlin accusing him of roughing her up a claim McLaughlin denied and that the woman backed away from in a subsequent recording made by McLaughlin s team.
