Hes now publicly calling on the new York GovernorAndrew Cuomo to resign after the State Attorney generals Damning Report Finding Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women. The president also outlying what he calls encouraging signs of increased covid vaccinations and renewed his appeal for the unvaccinated to finally go ahead and do the right thing and get their shots. Lets go straight to the White House right now. Our senior white House CorrespondentPhil Mattingly is joining us. Phil, the president made it abundantly clear what he thinks New Yorks democratic governor Andrew Cuomo needs to do. Wolf, was blunt, it was a single word. Andrew cuomo who has been more on an island than ever before after that damning 160page Plus Report from the new York Attorney general has now lost the support of the most powerful democrat in the country, the president of the United States, somebody whose National Convention he had a Prime Time address in. He is officially calling for Andrew Cuomo to resign in the wake of that report. Here is that exchange with our kaitlan collins. First id like to start with the news of the day given back in march you said that if the investigation confirmed the allegations against Governor Cuomo, then he should resign. So will you now call on him to resign given the investigator said the 11 women were credible . I Stand By that statement. Are you now calling on him to resign . Yes. And if he doesnt resign, do you believe he should be impeached and removed from office . Lets take one thing at a time here. I think he should resign. I understand that the State Legislature may decide to impeach. I dont know that for fact. I have not read all that data. And hes using a photo of you embracing him in his selfdefense to say that these are commonplace kind of embraces that he made in the allegations against him. Do you condone that . Look, im not going to flyspeck this. I am sure there are some embraces that were totally innocent. But apparently the Attorney General decided there were things that werent. And, wolf, what you saw there was the president doing exactly what he said he would do when he was asked about this news when it first broke in march if the allegations turned out to be true the president would in Fact Call on Andrew Cuomo to resign. Thats exactly what happened today. However, he was very careful not to get any further involved, clear he had not read the report, didnt want to weigh in on whether cuomo should be prosecuted. But the most element of all of this, the democrats those who are still not calling on the governor to resign have done so in droves over the course of the day. One other key element the president weighed in on today, and that was the eviction moratorium. It expired on july 31st. Millions of homeowners are potentially facing eviction because that Cdc Moratorium expired, it caused outrage with democrats on capitol hill, out rang that the Administration Hadnt called On Congress to pass something early they are than they did. Several Progressive Democrats camping out outside the u. S. Capitol to make the point about how devastating this could be to some individuals. Wolf, the administration has made clear for days publicly and privately to those democrats they did not believe they had the legal authority to push it further. They are going to give it a shot. In a couple of hours the cdc were told is expected to announce a more limited, targeted eviction moratorium, one that will likely last for 60 days. It would be targeted at areas of high transmission, which administration officials would believe would cover 90 of people. They dont know whether this will pass legal muster. Up to this point they had been told there werent any legal options. They are going to give it a shot. They feel like they have to because of the pressure from democrats as well as pressure from homeowners around the country. When the it will survive legal challenge still an open question. Stand by. Well get back to you. Just to reiterate the headline of the president. He believes that Governor Cuomo should resign. He repeated what he said back in march. In march he was asked if the investigation confirms the claims of the women should he resign, he replied back in march yes. And then he said, i think hed probably end up being prosecuted, too. He didnt go that far right now but he says all options clearly for cuomo are out there. Lets get some more on this truly damning report from New Yorks Attorney General alleging a pattern of Sexual Harassment by governor Andrew Cuomo. Lets go to our senior legal Affairs Correspondent Paula reid. Shes in New York tracking the story for us. So, paula, update our viewers on the very latest. Well, good evening, wolf. Governor cuomo faces mounting pressure from democrats not only the president but also his states to u. S. Senators to resign in the wake of this report, that details a pattern of Sexual Harassment, unwanted touching and a Culture Of Fear and intimidation that silenced wouldbe accusers. Tonight the new York AttorneyGenerals Office says governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and violated federal and State Laws. The investigation found that governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed current and former new York State employees by engaging in unwelcomed and nonconsensual touching and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile Work Environment for women. Reporter the Attorney General tapped former federal prosecutor Joon Kim and an Employer Lawyer Anne clark to lead the investigation. They concluded the governor sexually harassed 11 women. On tuesday they detailed how cuomo allegedly harassed a new York State trooper assigned to the unit protecting the governor. In an elevator while standing behind the trooper, he ran his finger from her neck down her spine and said, hey, you. Another time she was standing holding the door open for the governor. As he passed, he took his open hand and ran it across her stomach from her Belly Button to the hip where she keeps her gun. She told us that she felt completely violated to have the governor touch her, as she put it, between her chest and her privates. Reporter another accuser describes similar inappropriate touching. On november 16th, 2020, in the executive mansion, the governor hugged executive Assistant Number one and reached under her blouse to grab her breast. And he sometimes ran his hands up and down her back while he did so. There were also several occasions on which the governor grabbed her butt. Reporter the report states, we also conclude that the executive chambers culture, one filled with fear and intimidation, while at the same time, normalizing the governors frequent flirtations and genderbased comments contributed to the conditions that allow the Sexual Harassment to occur and persist. Cuomo was quick to respond, denying the allegations. I want you to know directly from me that i never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. I am 63 years old. Ive lived my entire adult life in public view. That is just not who i am. And thats not who i have ever been. Reporter the allegations against cuomo ramped up earlier this year when charlotte bennett, a former aide, said that cuomo asked her questions about her Sex Life during a June 2020 conversation in the state capitol. She also hinted at a pattern of retaliation. Do you believe that he was propositioning you . Yes. For what . Sex. Looking back on all of this, how would you describe Governor Cuomo . He is a textbook abuser. He lets his temper and his anger rule the office. Reporter after the report was released, bennett tweeted, resign, Governor Cuomo. Cuomo addressed bennett personally in his remarks today. I thought i could help her work through a difficult time. I did ask her questions i dont normally ask people. I did ask her how she was doing and how she was feeling, but i was wrong. I have Heard Charlotte and her lawyer, and i understand what they are saying. But they read into comments that i made and draw inferences that i never meant. Reporter investigators spoke with nearly 200 people in the course of this investigation, many within the governors Inner Circle, including his brother Cnn Anchor Chris cuomo. Now, the new York Attorney general says she is not making a referral for criminal prosecution in this matter, but the District Attorney in albany confirmed today he is conducting a criminal investigation into Cuomos Conduct and will be requesting materials obtained by the Attorney Generals office. Wolf . All right, paula, i want you to Stand By. Im going to get back to you in a moment. I also want to bring in cnn legal analyst joey jackson, Cnn National Security analyst asha, and the State Attorney for Palm Beach County and Florida Dave aaron berg. Paula, once again still with us. Asha, investigators say they spoke with 179 people. They reviewed 74,000 pieces of evidence. Just how damning is this report for Governor Cuomo . Wolf, this report is incredibly damning. Its incredibly detailed. They interviewed 179 people. 41 of them were under oath. And there is just an incredible amount of detail in here where the investigators also look to corroborating evidence. There is an entire section where they go through and look at each claim and whether its corroborated and make an assessment of whether the claim is credible. And they find that these claims are credible. There is contemporaneous emails, documentation of them. And as it notes these 11 women span not only people in the office. They are people including, for example, State Trooper in his protective detail. And the most damning piece here, in my opinion, is also the pattern of retaliation. There was knowledge on the part of the governor of these complaints, and then actions taken to try to silence them. So, i think that this does present a very compelling case that will be hard to refute. You know, dave, cuomo denies any inappropriate behavior. But this isnt just a case of he said she said. 11 women spoke out. Investigators say their accounts are corroborated, including by witnesses realtime text messages, as asha pointed out, contemporaneous evidence. Thats difficult to dispute, isnt it . It sure is, wolf. The statute here thats most relevant is under New York law, forceable touching. Its a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail. Now, that is the statute, the d. A. In albany will be reviewing. Because prosecutors like there to be corroboration. When it comes to the trooper, there was a witness there. And thats an important point. But the bigger question when it comes to the trooper is not necessarily the witness, but whether the governor engaged in forceable touching, which is defined as touching an intimate area. He allegedly touched her stomach down to her hip. Is that considered an intimate area . And then when it comes to the assistant in his office, that clearly is an intimate area. The allegation is he touched her breast and her butt. If thats the case, then that would meet the statute. But there is no independent witness for that. The corroboration would be her contemporaneous comments to others. There could be Hearsay Rules and restrictions. So thats why its not a Slam Dunk whether the prosecutor files charges here. This could be just a civil matter, an administrative matter and left to the Court Of Public Opinion. Its definitely not an automatic criminal charge. Thats an important point, joey. The Attorney General, letitia james, was very clear that the work of her office, she repeatedly said, is finished. Listen to her in her own words. Our work is concluded, and the document is now public. And the matter is civil in nature and does not have any criminal consequences. Why do you think she decided not to refer this for criminal prosecution . Yeah, i think, wolf, you have to be careful when youre in her position. The first thing i look at as i evaluate the independence of this. And there have been claims by the governor that this has been political in nature. So if shes the Attorney General who could presumably have ambitions to assume office, you want to be separate and apart. I think the investigation pretty well did that by appointing people who were disconnected with her office and by appointing people who had a lot of background with respect to investigating cases, knowing employment law, knowing how to do investigations. But ultimately its a jurisdictional issue. And that jurisdictional issue is left up to, as she noted, we dont have the jurisdiction, said the Attorney General, we will leave that up to the local District Attorney to make those assessments. But when they make those assessments, wolf, i think theyre guided by a number of things. Not only are there the 179 witnesses that you noted. The 74,000 different documents, text messages, emails, pictures, et cetera. And then you look at the specific detail that asha spoke to with respect to what the witnesses said. You look at the corroboration of what the witnesses said. You look at the specific things that they were doing sometimes at the time it was going on, notifying and indicating to other people. So its a lot to overcome. I hasten to add its so interesting and ironic that New York in 2019 made the laws more favorable as it related to those who were claiming Sexual Harassment, extending the statute of limitations, suggesting that or not suggesting, mandating that it doesnt have to be severe and pervasive. So the governors own Law Subject him to a lot of jeopardy even in the civil context. And we know that there could be an impeachment looming here as well in the State Legislature. The legal problems for Governor Cuomo may just be beginning. The governor has lost the support of so many fellow democrats including the president of the United States who says that cuomo should resign, the speaker of the house, both of New Yorks democratic senators. Whats the likely political fallout and specifically is it possible, is it likely that cuomo will happy bibe impeached . I think its possible. But they dont have to go to that politically fraught process. This matter is not in a court of law. This is not a criminal matter at this point. This is in the Court Of Public Opinion. And hes made this decision to go out and defend himself in the Court Of Public Opinion by addressing each one of these accusations. Earlier today we heard him suggest that while i didnt mean to, i was trying to help, its generational, perhaps its cultural. Many of these defenses came across as tonedeaf, as just not really understanding the moment. Hes not getting any political allies he has left much to work with in the Court Of Public Opinion. And as that Court Of Public Opinion continues to turn against him. Its going to be harder and harder for him to survive politically. It certainly will be. Asha, do you see evidence that the conduct extended beyond the governor to a systemic culture within his office, and what impact can that have on the victims . Yes, wolf. I think that was one of the most chilling parts of this report is the investigation into the culture of the executive office, which i would call basically a system of complicity. The laws were there in terms of what needed to be done. But not only were they not followed. For example, the people to whom these victims complained did not report them through the appropriate channels. But many of these people in the governors Inner Circle were actually actively participating in silencing these victims, engaging in retaliatory measures, for example. These never even reached the independent fact finders, which State Law requires. So, i think one of the big issues here is going beyond just the governor and looking at this entire system that is in place that has aligned incentives so that its in the interest of these people to cover these things up rather than report them and bring them to Light And Face consequences. Asha, joey, dave, paula, thank you very much. Well have much more Athis Story coming up.

Breaking news this hour. President biden saying just a short time ago that the cdc will be announcing new efforts to limit evictions during the Covid Pandemic after a federal moratorium expired. Meanwhile, new York City is taking unprecedented action to stop the spread of the deadly Delta Variant. Cnn national correspondent Athena Jones has details. Athena . Reporter hi, wolf. This is the biggest Step Weve seen any take when it comes to mandates or requirements related to covid. Starting september 13th, new York City will require proof of vaccination for indoor dining, for indoor fitness centers, for indoor entertainment and performances. That proof can be a vaccine card, it can be the excelsior app, thats an app created by new York State. Or it can be another app, nyc safe app. And people only have to show that theyve taken only one dose of the vaccine. He said he wants to focus on the thing that will make a difference, vaccinations. And so the mayor is hoping that this move will encourage more people to get vaccinated and help prevent a return to the worst of the pandemic here in this city. So, a big move that City Officials hope will make a big difference. Wolf . Athena jones rarting, thank you very much. Floridas Republican Governor is doubling down on his opposition to face masks despite his state now being an epicenter of the pandemic. Cnns Rosa Flores is working on that part of the story for us. Reporter wolf, the state of florida leading the nation in the number of hospitalizations according to u. S. Health and human services more than 50,000 americans are hospitalized with covid19 right now, and more than 10,600 are right here in the state of florida. The Sunshine State reporting more than 110,000 cases last week making up nearly one out of five cases in the nation. Florida governor Ron Desantis earlier this morning saying that all this is media hysteria, doubling down on his antimask stance and saying that his state is not shutting down. As for Schools Broward County public schools reversing their Mask Mandate releasing a statement saying that they plan to follow Governor Desantis Executive order on masks, which gives parents choice. Wolf . All right, rosa, thank you. Our chief medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay gupta is joining us. Whats your reaction to this new plan to mandate vaccines in new York City restaurants, gyms, Entertainment Venues . Do you think other cities should do the same thing . I think other cities will follow suit, wolf. What theyre basically saying is if you get vaccinated, heres what your life can look yelike. You get access to all these things. If youre not vaccinated you dont get access to these things. Its the carrot more than the stick. One thing i will say, rosa just mentioned this. The idea of masks. There is not a Mask Mandate in New York. And one of the things that comes up a lot is should at the same time that were increasing vaccinations, should we also be bringing down viral transmission . Theres a lot of virus circulating out there. Vaccines are very important keeping people healthy. But we got to bring down the amount of virus as well. And masks at least for short term for a few weeks or a couple months would do a really important job of that. As you heard the policy only requires people to have received one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. Is that sufficient . Well, if you look at the data now, and there is data to basically show how protective is one dose versus two doses. And you can see on the left is two doses. So very protective against both the alpha and the Delta Variant against symptomatic disease. It drops off a lot with just one dose. One dose is not nearly as protective. This may be a strategy just to say, look, lets just get people in the door to get that first dose. They get all these incentives with starting the Vaccination Process with the hopes that maybe they get a second dose. But clearly one dose not as protective as second doses, far less. The recommendation is get those two shots. Whats your advice, sanjay, to vaccinated people . People are fully vaccinated who are still nervous about this Delta Variant. Do they need to change how theyre going about their daily life . I thought about this a lot, wolf. Ive talked to lots of people. I think you can feel pretty rest assured that if youve been vaccinated you are pretty well protected against getting sick from the Delta Variant or any of the variants, frankly. Thats the good news. Theres been some data, as you well know, came out last week saying if youre vaccinated you could potentially be a carrier. Youre far less likely to get infected. Youre far less likely to transmit, but it is not impossible you could be a carrier and transmit to somebody else. So if you have unvaccinated people in your household in particular, i think you just got to be more careful about potentially carrying the virus by being out and about and then transmitting it to someone. So, wear a mask if youre around a lot of people and you dont know their vaccination status. I think thats the only Thing Id really change. If youre in your own house, both parents fully vaccinated but the kids 11 and under arent vaccinated, should the parents be wearing a mask . No. I dont think so, wolf. This came up today, as you might know, with the Nih Director where he suggested that and then clarified saying its not necessary. We did not get into the idea of people wearing masks within their own homes even before vaccines were rolled out. Now with vaccines rolled out, if someones vaccinated, i dont think that theres really, itd be a very tough sell to tell people they need to wear masks in their own home. They should reduce their exposure outside the home so theyre not likely to transmit the virus to someone in the home. Excellent advice as usual from dr. Sanjay gupta. Sanjay, thank you very much. In our next hour, ill speak with the new York CityMayor Bill de blasio about his decision to impose these groundbreaking new Covid Vaccine requirements. Stand by for that.

President Biden Joining the House Speaker Nancy pelosi in calling on new York GovernorAndrew Cuomo to resign after a report by the State Attorney general found he sexually harassed multiple women, 11 women specifically. Joining us now to talk about that and more, democratic congresswoman of california. Hes a key member of the select committee investigating the January 6th capitol siege. Congressman, thanks so much for joining us. I want to get to that investigation in a moment. But very quickly, do you stand with President Biden and the House Speaker Nancy pelosi . Does Governor Cuomo need to resign . Yes, he does, full stop. And thats what you heard the speaker say and the president reiterate the report was damning and tough to read. So we Stand By those comments. And one further question. Do you think he should be prosecuted, criminally prosecuted . Ill leave that to the state of New York to iron out. But from a political perspective, he needs to leave. And then well let justice take its course. In new York State. All right. Lets talk about the very sad news were also following today in light of a fourth Police Officer committing suicide in the aftermath of the January 6th attack. Whats your message to your republican colleagues who are still downplaying or actively denying what happened on that brutal, awful day . Well, for those who continue to perpetrate and, you know, lay forward the big lie, its incredibly difficult to hear them. But our first Message Today is to the officers families who are still grieving and impacted, two officers took their lives, it was announced one yesterday, one today. So thats four total. And Officer Harry Dunn was very clear when he testified before the select committee that these officers need to be able to seek help. Theyve been through trauma. They need to be able to get that help, officers talked about having leave and having the ability to get resources, all of thats so incredibly difficult. And thats why were pleased to pass the supplemental bill that we did to reimburse the national guard but also to put resources into capitol police. So first today were just going to think about their families and think about the loss that theyre going to have to endure because those officers were the last line of defense on democracy that day. Our deepest condolences to their families. All this, congressman, speaks to the urgency of your work, your colleagues work on the select committee investigating the January 6th insurrection. How soon do you think we can expect subpoenas to be issued . Well, were going to get moving carrying forward, you know, our work and our mandate and our charge. And right now were going to be in the investigative stage. So its going to be less public. But we are going to be doing a lot of work behind the scenes. Well continue to work to get the truth. Thats what the House Resolution that created the select committee does. And thats what we are going to do in a nonpartisan way thats going to be thoughtful, its going to be deliberate. And we want to make sure ultimately we produce a document that will stand the test of time. And so we are going to be very deliberate in this way. You can expect that we are going to ask folks their thoughts either to come share it voluntarily or maybe not in the foreseeable future. But we will let that piece take its course and be guided by the mission to seek the truth. Because if we dont learn exactly what happened back then on January 6th, then were bound to repeat that disaster down the road. How hard is the committee willing to fight for testimony, for example, from former President Trump and the republican congressman he talked to that day when they dont have any incentive to cooperate, will they be forced to appear . Were not talking about the specifics at this point. We just were developing the Work Plan to seek the truth. And we will pull every thread and we will chase every lead in order to get that. And where there are hurdles and if people do not want to speak, we will use every tool in the toolbox to ask them or to compel them to give their thoughts as well. But right now were not focused on that, were just focused on performing our investigative work, and we will carry forward the mission and the mandate that we have like you said to make sure that this never happens again and that we protect democracy. But we have to understand what were dealing with, what led up to January 6th as well as what happened on January 6th. And clearly subpoenas are in that toolbox. Congressman aguilar, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. Thank you all. Up next, major hurdle still facing the bipartisan infrastructure deal. Were going to talk about the changes, the Transportation Secretary Pete buttigieg, hes standing by live, well discuss with him right after this. The j.

Next Day And Twoday shipping nationwide, and returns right from the doorstep. Its a whole New World out there. Lets not keep it waiting. Lawmakers are touting a breakthrough on a bipartisan infrastructure deal, but the bill still faces major hurdles before it can reach President Bidens desk. For more on that i want to bring in the Transportation Secretary mr. Pete buttigieg. Thank you so much for joining us. I did some checking, this is the fourth time youve joined this program, and im grateful to you for that to talk about infrastructure, which is so critically important, as you and i know. In may, you wanted major progress by memorial day. Thats come and gone in. June you said there was a very good chance of success. Now its august. So when do you think this will actually get passed and signed by the president into law . Well, we certainly have seen that major progress that i was hoping to see. Now we actually have to get it to final passage. Its got a few more steps in the senate. Of course the house has to take it up to and then get it to the president s desk. What ill say is as soon as it gets there, theres going to be a lot of joy in the Department Of Transportation and the White House as the president prepares to sign that so that we can get to work responsibly deploying those taxpayer dollars. Every week i see new examples of the importance of infrastructure in america. Last week we were at the Port Of Baltimore which is doing fantastic work but an example of where you dont have to live anywhere near a port in america to really depend on the shipping that goes through there. I saw huge pieces of Farm Equipment being built in the midwest close to where i come from, absolutely dependent on that maritime infrastructure that a lot of americans dont even think about. 17 Billion will go to port infrastructure. Just to take one slice of whats in this very, very important bipartisan package. Roads, bridges, airports, all sorts of the need is enormous out there, as we all know. But even if this bill does pass the senate, thats just the beginning of this rather complicated process of getting both infrastructure and the bigger Spending Bill that progressives obviously want 3. 5 trillion passed in tandem at the same time. How do you thread the needle, get these two deals done at the same time . Well, what weve done is made clear the president s priorities and an economic vision that has two different pieces and that when you add them up are going to be good for the country and good for the economy. A lot of independent modeling has shown that they will create millions of jobs and, importantly, that if we get both of these bills passed and signed, it will also help ease inflationary pressures by helping improve the labor market. So whether were talking about the Transportation Pieces that i work on that are in this bipartisan bill or the measures to do things like make sure every american can get paid Family Leave or get everybody into every kid whos 3 and 4 into that prekindergarten education that we know will make them better off and will make the country better off. That Side Looks like its less likely to attract republican support, although were going to continue to urge all people on both sides to support it. Right now as we speak amendments are being crafted and framed for the infrastructure piece. Ive been on the phone with members of both chambers, both parties working that out, trying to make sure as they chisel and polish this legislation that its the best it can possibly be. Then as soon as the senate has acred on that and thats making its way to the house, youve got that Reconciliation Or BudgetResolution Discussion gaining momentum, too. Safe to say theres going to be a lot of activity these next few weeks, and not a moment to lose because americans are impatient to see these results. And its really, really complicated, the stakes, as you correctly point out, are enormous. Mr. Secretary, thanks so much for joining us. Thanks for having me.
