denying the allegations against him. >> i did not do what has been alleged, period. look, it's very simple, i never harassed anyone, i never abused anyone, i never assaulted anyone. and i never would, right? >> let's start with the new allegations coming from a former reporter, cnn's polo sandoval is following the latest developments. what are you hearing? >> reporter: fred, you're referring to jessica bateman, the latest in a growing list of women who have come forward recently with these allegations of sexual harassment and assault against new york's governor andrew cuomo. as you mentioned earlier, these are accusations that the governor continues to deny and continues to refuse to step down over, instead saying that he wants the investigation to proceed. but she's recounting when she was a reporter, she's now a reporter in miami. basically she self-penned a piece, a first-person piece in new york magazine in which she recounts multiple occasions in which she alleges that she was touched by the governor without her concert. she specifically recalls one evening in 2014 when she was a 25-year-old reporter covering the new york statehouse in which she was attending a holiday party, when she writes that the governor put his arm around her waist and held her firmly in place while indicating to a photographer that he wanted to pose for a photo with her. she wrote this was one of had -- in her words, one of the most egregious ways that she was sexually harassed by the governor. cnn has reached out to the governor's office for his reaction, or at least his response to this latest round of accusations, but we should note that earlier, just yesterday, the governor responded to the general allegations that have come forward about him saying that he obviously denies any form of misconduct and he certainly welcomes the investigation that's moving forward. and as he said, he would like for all of the facts to eventually emerge here. but, still, we are already getting a critics from the capil and dc. a long list of lawmakers on the democratic side calling for the governor to step down, and that includes senate majority leader chuck schumer. we should also mention that he continues to maintain not only that there was no misconduct on his part, but also refuses to resign from his position as new york's chief executive. >> polo sandoval, thank you so much for that. so what happens now? joining me is new york state senator who is a former attorney in the cuomo administration and is now calling for him to resign. so good to see you. so what's your reaction to this now latest accusation coming from a former reporter about multiple occasions in which she felt uncomfortable? >> so thank you for having me and good morning. i think that what we're seeing is, as the details continue to pile on, this continued case for the fact that this governor is someone who has engaged in a pattern of abusive behavior, not just in the past year, or in the past tenure of his latest term, but for the past decade and perhaps even before that. i think that the same attitude that emboldens you to target a 25-year-old also emboldens you to scrub a nursing home report. this is literally all connected in a way that leads many of us, myself included, 60 plus members of the legislature to not only call on the governor to resign, but also to move forward with impeachment proceedings. >> so you're also quoted in a separate new york magazine article, the latest accusation coming from the reporter is a new york article magazine. in a separate article you were quoted as saying and corroborating that the atmosphere in cuomo's office was toxic. you even describe yourself as having some uncomfortable interactions with him. can you describe them? are they similar, different from what we've heard from these now six women who have come forward with allegations? >> so i didn't experience the same sexual harassment or sexual assault experiences that a lot of the women who have come forward have discussed. but what i will say is that it is connected to what i did experience, which is a culture of fear, a culture of toxic behavior where the governor and the people who are closest to him in his inner circle not only con descend, but berate and belittle. they have fear that prevents people from doing their job and it prevents new yorkers from receiving the leadership of the governor and his staff to serve the people of new york, but it prevents people from being able to enter a workplace and be safe. >> why now? you say this is a long pattern that spreads over a course of years. why now? this culmination? >> so just to reframe us here, we have not only a cover-up of a cover-up of nursing home deaths during covid-19, we also have -- i believe it's actually seven women now who have come forward. we also have allegations and whistleblower accounts of one of the bridges in new york not being stable enough to have cars driving over it. this collection of misdeeds and others that have not come to the public light really have not only broken the trust of the legislature, but also of the public. and we have to have a governor and an executive who holds himself to the highest standard, and right now that trust is broken and we have to have accountability. >> so cnn has only been able to authenticate six of the allegations coming from six different women. so we're also seeing this extraordinary push from some of the most prominent democrats in congress in addition to state legislature calling for cuomo to resign. has this in your view become an untenable situation? do you believe this is impairing his ability to govern? >> there's no doubt that this is impairing his ability to govern. it's not only a distraction to the work that we need to be doing every day, but every single day that we wake up to serve the people of our districts and the state, there is another controversy, another scandal that we have to face and deal with on a regular basis. our job is not only to serve the people of our district and state, but also to pass a bungt on time. this is budget season and we have to make sure that we are thinking about covid recovery and relief, and frankly, a lot of us, most of us have now lost trust and faith in the governor. >> that deadline, that budget deadline is april 1st. how is this -- all these allegations impairing the governor from doing his job, from governing? >> as i just mentioned, every single day that he is not only showing up to work, he is being required to spend a majority of his time defending his bad behavior. not only that, he is not thinking about the best interest of the state of new york. why? because he is constantly on the defense. he is constantly in the public spotlight defending the behaviors, not only, again, of the sexual harassment allegations, but also the nursing home cover-up and death, and that should be enough for not only the legislature, but all of new york to say this is somebody who is trying to keep the numbers lower so that he can actually have a good public perception. that is not someone who has the best interest of new yorkers at heart or at hand. >> so when i spoke with you in february, you did believe that there should have been some restriction in his reach, his executive order as a result of the nursing home debacle. but what specifically has changed your mind now about he either resigning or being impeached? >> so i think we should look at, again, the pattern of abusive behavior, but let's just focus on some of these allegations that have come forward from the women who have spoken out. not only has our governor not denied them, he consistently shifts the blame to the women accusing them of political motives. again, consistent pattern of abuse, important to highlight here because as a sexual abuse survivor, i am very clear about what it looks like when someone who has not only done the behaviors that he's being accused of, he or she is being accused of, but also is in a position where they feel like they need to defend their honor and perception. this is a governor who cares deeply about his image, the control of how the information is disseminated. so when we look at all of these things collectively -- because it is a collection of misdeeds, the reality is here now that we do not have a governor that the people of new york can trust. >> so the most recent polling from quinn piac showed 55% of voters still have confidence in the governor. so what happens in your view if the governor remains defiant? >> if the governor remains defiant, we have to move forward with impeachment proceedings. one thing i want to be clear about is this, right now we have the assembly, which is responsible to begin the impeachment proceedings by drafting up the articles of impeachment, as i'm sure many people have seen, right now the assembly is actually engaging in an investigation, which is actually not a necessary step. why? because the assembly is responsible for drafting the articles of impeachment, sending them to the senate. the senate actually is the body that will oversee not only an investigation, but also an ability for witnesses to come forward, for evidence to be heard, for that due process that the governor is alleging that he's not getting because many of us are calling for him to resign. after that, then this impeachment court will vote on whether or not we believe that there is enough evidence to come forward to remove the governor from office. but this is a step we have got to take because, again, it is distracting from the work that we are here to do. >> in your view, all of that in addition to the investigations that do continue from the attorney general's office? >> correct, that's right, exactly. and just to remind everyone, there are two federal investigations going on with regard to the nursing home cover-up. there is an attorney general investigation with regard to the sexual harassment allegations, and in addition to that what i am also making the case for and many of my colleagues are making the case for is to have impeachment proceedings as well. because we do not believe the governor should continue to serve in this current circumstance, and all of the controversies that are surrounding him. >> you don't believe those things should come after the investigation, allow the investigation to complete from the attorney general first? >> no, i don't. and i want to make one case for this that i think is an important point. calling for the governor to resign and having impeachment proceedings is not a directly send-to-jail. what we are asking is that this is a person that step down so that we can continue the work of the state, the lieutenant governor will take over the duties of the governorship and we will be able to do our work. it is not a call for the governor to step down and then be sent to jail or be punished. the process will still continue, but the distraction will go away. >> we'll leave it there for now. new york state senator biaggi, thank you so much for your time. appreciate it. still ahead, a surge in travel for spring break could mean a new surge in coronavirus cases. could spring break be the next superspreader event?

>> reporter: yeah, well, fred, there are cheaper flights, discounted rooms, and so a lot of people are coming into town. some folks told cnn yesterday that they came because they heard about the rules and really it's a lack of them. the city of miami beach actually has a mask requirement, but the mayor told me it's impossible, according to florida state rules, to actually fine anyone for not wearing a mask. so mayor dan gelber told me he's trying his best at this point, having people hand out free disposable masks and hoping to send the message so this doesn't become a superspreader event. here's what he said. >> i don't want our brand to be let loose and no offense to las vegas, whose man ta is, you know, whatever happens in vegas, stays in vegas. that's not what we're aiming for. we're not telling people to come here and do stuff you would never do in your hometown. we're telling them come here and enjoy, we have the beaches and restaurants and venues. we have all that stuff. just follow the rules and you'll have a great time. if you don't follow the rules, especially right now, you're really in for trouble. >> reporter: and there are a lot more police out there trying to make sure people are behaving, sticking to the curfew so the curfew is at midnight. it's really something that you can see as far as numbers of people coming to town when you look at hotel occupancy statistics. we got this from the greater miami visitor and convention bureau showing the difference between 2019, 2020, 2021. the projected numbers this month and next month, much higher than last year when the pandemic first started. still not quite to 2019 numbers, but you can see more people are coming here than these businesses have seen in a long time. >> big difference. natasha chen, thank you so much. let's bring in now dr. wen, a cnn medical analyst and emergency physician. she's also a former baltimore city health commissioner. good to see you. you sounded the alarm about this looming threat of the coronavirus on this program one year ago. here's a piece of what you had to say. >> we are not even close to the peak of the epidemic yet. the problem is we just don't know how many patients are going to be coming in all at the same time. we simply don't have enough intensive care unit beds, we don't have enough ventilators. most of these life-saving equipment are already occupied. there are already patients in need of these supplies and we don't have nearly enough. and that's the reason why all of us have to take matters into our own hands now and do our best to reduce the rate of transmission. >> so that was an ominous warning and now here we are one year later. do you see things differently? >> it was really difficult to watch that clip because with the worst case scenario, fred, of what we predicted, it actually happened. looking back, of course there are things that we should have done differently with hindsight. we should have known about masks earlier. that would have saved a lot of lives. if we didn't have mixed messaging, if we had better coordination and the role of the federal government be clear, i think it would have made such a big difference. but i also hope that people will see that if we didn't take those matters into our own hands as i was saying last year, if people didn't do our part, we could have had so many more deaths and i really hope that people will see that going forward, that as dire as things have seemed and continue to seem in some ways, there are things that we can do right now to protect ourselves and everybody around us, too. >> so what is your outlook now? we've got three vaccines available to americans and at the same time just ahead of this, the conversation we're talking about, spring breakers and coastal towns, people are flocking, feeling like, all right, it's all right, we can just go back to what we think is normal. so how do you see the next year ahead, given those factors? >> i think in general i have a very optimistic outlook about the months and certainly the years ahead. i think it's really remarkable and i think we need to take a step back and celebrate these scientific achievements of having three safe and highly effective vaccines. that's really wonderful. this time science is delivering help out of this. but at the same time i also worry about having a fourth surge. i think we are letting loose a bit too early because we're talking about lifting mask mandates, which is something, again, i understand reopening businesses, i want our businesses and schools and churches and other institutions to reopen. we can do that if we keep in place mask mandates. and i also do think that the travel that's occurring, the spring break travel, i'm very worried about that. it's not so much the travel, the going on planes and trains. it's what are people doing afterwards, and gathering outside, much better than gathering inside. but bars are open at 100% capacity, people are going to bars and restaurants, not wearing masks, crowded together. we could have a fourth surge. >> and then now, a new cnn poll finds that about seven in ten americans have received or plan to get vaccinated while a new meris poll finds that 49% of men who identify as republicans say they have no plans to get vaccinated. how do you factor in those issues? >> that is extremely concerning. and i just want to point out, too, that in that same poll they also looked at african-americans, latino americans. yes, there is increased hesitancy in those populations, too. but the population with the highest rate of people who say that they will not get vaccinated are republican men. so i think this is where former president trump can do a lot with his message and his voice, because there are many millions of americans who will listen to him. so i think moving forward we could factor in -- >> he had that opportunity in january when he and melania got their vaccines, but didn't say anything. now that that has been made public, he still has been silent on that front. >> right, and there's so much that president trump can do. he could say, and rightfully so, he could take credit for the development of these incredible vaccines and then say also how he encourages everyone to do this because this is our ticket back to normalcy. imagine how powerful it would be if president trump urged his supporters to take this on for themselves so it could help all of america get back to normal. >> dr. wen, good to see you. thank you so much. straight ahead, a republican senator admits that he would have reacted differently had the rioters who stormed the capitol been black lives matter or antifa protesters. >> had the tables been turned and president trump won the election and those were tens of thousands of black lives matter and antifa protesters, i might have been a little concerned. >> and the rift between prince harry and his brother william deepening after meaghan and harry's bombshell interview with oprah this week. details straight ahead. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa ♪ wealth is your first big investment. we're made for. worth is a partner to help share the load. wealth is saving a little extra. worth is knowing it's never too late to start - or too early. ♪ ♪ wealth helps you retire. worth is knowing why. ♪ ♪ principal. for all it's worth. find your rhythm. your happy place. find your breaking point. then break it. every emergen-c gives you a potent blend of nutrients so you can emerge your best with emergen-c. still your best friend. and now your co-pilot. still a father. but now a friend. still an electric car. just more electrifying. still a night out. but everything fits in. still hard work. just a little easier. still a legend. just more legendary. chevrolet. making life's journey, just better. oh, you think this is just a community center?

>> reporter: fred, we learned a ton of new details about the investigation yesterday in a new court filing. i'm going to walk you through some of the numbers. they're breathtaking. as you mentioned, more than 300 people have been charged already, another 400 could be coming. investigators are looking through 15,000 hours of surveillance tape and body cam footage. think about that. that's a tremendous amount of footage. they've examined 1,600 electronic devices and executed 900 search warrants across the country, almost every single state. and they've received more than 210,000 tips from the public. also, fred, prosecutors said in court yesterday they're preparing to offer plea deals to some of the rioters. this could change as things develop, but some of those first guilty pleas, they might just be a few weeks away. >> so a conspiracy investigation into the far right group the oath keepers also seems to be expanding. give us the latest on that. >> reporter: so far more than a dozen members of the oath keepers have been charged. that's the far right extremist anti-government group. prosecutors said this week that they plan to expand their conspiracy case and arrest more members. they didn't say when. but there were some developments across the country this week with the oath keepers. one man charged, joshua james of alabama. investigators said that he provided security for roger stone, the trump associate, at a stop the steal event one day before the attack. another alleged oath keeper caldwell, of virginia, he convinced a judge yesterday to release him from jail. the judge pointed out that this man, thomas caldwell, was one of the few oath keepers who didn't actually enter the capitol during the attack and apparently that was a big differentiator for why he can be released. we've seen this investigation with the oath keepers really fan out across the country, multiple defendants from multiple states. the justice department has said this is a priority, these extremist groups. they want to crack down, fred. >> marshall cohen, thank you so much, from washington. straight ahead, president biden's coronavirus relief package just passed for all americans, so why is senator lindsey graham characterizing aid given to black farmers as reparations?

>> with me is john boyd jr., a fourth generation farmer and the founder of the black farmers association. what was your reaction when you heard the words of lindsey graham, the senator? >> thank you for having me. it's very disheartening to listen to those comments from senator lindsey graham and i've lobbied him and congress both as a congressman and as a senator about the discrimination that many black farmers faced, including myself, and senator lindsey graham never spoke out against our discrimination or anything that affected our black farmers, and we were participating in all of the federal programs, including subsidies and loans. he never used his megaphone to support black farmers and he has 6,000 black farmers. we checked our membership list. 6,000 black farmers and he's never once supported us. >> in south carolina. >> in south carolina. so he's never supported us, but he's used his megaphone quickly for 30 years to get relief in congress to speak out against us and play the race card here, where he knows that we haven't been participating in the subsidy programs, farm loans, all of these programs we've been totally shut out. and he used this opportunity to play the race card here, fred. >> so this bill, this loan provision is intended to -- i'm quoting, address the historical discrimination against socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers and address issues related to the coronavirus pandemic, according to the text in the bill. and i know you have had issues with the agricultural secretary, you've expressed your reservations about him. how comfortable are you that he is supportive of this provision that it will be policy implemented? >> well, i spoke to the secretary yesterday, he called me late yesterday afternoon to congratulate me on the bill, and i spoke to him about swift implementation of this act, that black farmers have been hurting and we need -- it's become law and i would like to also recognize the president for that, he needs to act swiftly to make sure that these farmers get the debt relief and also set up the commission and those things to make sure that black farmers get technical assistance and outreach, something that's been lacking at the united states department of agriculture for a very, very long time. so i'm hopeful that he's going to act and act swiftly based on yesterday's call. >> and black farmers are great beneficiaries of this, but also hispanic farmers, native american farmers, asian-american farmers, all can look forward to debt forgiveness, 120%. also, another few billion will be dedicated to outreach and training. how do you see this making a significant difference or making an impact on your livelihood? >> i think it's the most significant result for black farmers in this country since the voting rights act, and also i think what's important here, too, fredricka, is a look at those senators who put out ten amendments, so out of this $2 trillion resolve bill, they chose to pick on black farmers. 49 senators voted to pull that language or reduce the language so that it wouldn't help our black farmers and farmers of color. so we're very disappointed in those persons and senator lindsey graham. so when people say that elections don't matter, they do, because i think if the shoe was on the other foot, farmers of color wouldn't have got this major victory. >> lindsey graham was among those critics of this provision who said, what does this have to do with covid. how did the pandemic impact you, hurt even further black farcmer, who were already feeling the pain? >> yes, black farmers were told that we had to destroy crops, fred, in order to get crop insurance. and when the restaurants closed up, many black farmers lost their contracts in the local communities. so we were struggling. we were told that we didn't qualify for ppp. all of these things, we didn't get emergency loans, farm operating loans. and that's what i think the american people don't understand. when the monies are out there, they never seem to find black farmers and farmers of color. and this isn't a new issue. i've been trying to get debt relief for black farmers for over 30 years and it just made it into this bill. so it isn't something that was new. it's something that the pandemic really escalated for america's black farmers and farmers of color. >> you answered my next question. you've been at this for a very long time and after many decades, you are now seeing some of the fruits of your labor, not just for yourself but thousands of black farmers, asian-american farmers, hispanic and native american. john boyd jr., thank you so much. good to see you. straight ahead, cracks in the bond between prince harry and his older brother, prince william. more on the fallout over harry and meaghan's bombshell interview about the royal family next. dry, distressed skin that struggles?
