Accusations against New York democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo. A State Attorney Generals Investigation has unveiled an array of accusations with specific and luring details of cuomos alleged comments and actions. The governor quickly issued a lengthy rebuttal in which he attributed the allegations to misunderstandings, misinterpretations and politics. Still prominent democrats including President Biden are calling for his resignation. Correspondent Bryan Llenas has been following the story from the start, joins us live from New York. Hello, brian. Shannon, good evening, Tonight A Stunningly Detailed and damning report from independent investigators finds, in part, that Governor Cuomo groped an Executive Assistant inappropriately touched a state trooper, and unlawfully retaliated against an employee who spoke out against him. The independent investigation has concluded that Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and in doing so violated federal and state law. New York Attorney general latisha james making a stunning Announcement Today that an independent investigation by her office found Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed 11 current and staff and employees. These interviews and pieces of evidence reveal a deeply disturbing, yet clear Picture Investigators released a 165 page public report including testimony from the 11 accusers. Interviews with 179 current and former employees of the governor and 74,000 pieces of emails, texts and pictures. The report concluded Cuomo Foster add toxic and abusive workplace where he inappropriately touched women and made sexual remarks. Some suffered through unwanted touching and grabbing of their most intimate body parts. Others suffered through repeated, offensive sexually subject Tia Or Gender based comments a number of them endured both. Charlotte bennett tweeting resign. In a message Governor Cuomo denied the allegations. I never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. Cuomos lawyer released a 85 Page Rebuttal to the independent investigation. The vast majority included page after page of dozens of photos showing Cuomo Hugging and kissing people and politicians, claiming his accusers are unfairly characterizing and weaponizing his everyday interactions. I am 63 years old. I have lived my entire adult life in public view. That is just not who i am. And thats not who i have ever been. Cuomo then characterized the investigation as a political witchhunt. Politics. Bricks and bias are interwoven throughout every aspect of this investigation. Undermine and politicize the investigation offensive. I support their work, will defend their work, and i believe he is hands in the democratic controlled assembly looking into possible impeachment. Breaking tonight new York State speaker Charles Hasty the a democrat says Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of the assemblys democratic majority and can no longer remain in office. Hasty said the assembly will expedite its ongoing Impeachment Investigation to complete it as soon aS Possible. Shannon . Shannon Brian Yen Nasa in New York always on this for months now. Thank you, brian. Good to see you. Take a closer look at the agencies, Andrew Mccarthy is a former assistant united States Attorney and Jonathan Turley is a professor at the George Washington University law school. Jerks welcome to you both. Andy, i will start with you. Lets talk first about the political implications the governor seems to signal he is not going anywhere. You heard bryans report on political impeachment. Politically, whats the fallout for him . Shannon, i think hes not going anywhere until he is. And i think that time is now. I really dont see at thiS Point how the democratic controlled assembly would defy the president. Those of us who have watched the meandering Impeachment Investigation that cuomos allies in the new York Assembly have been running have, i think, correctly opined that the only thing that could turbo charge it would be latisha james anticipated report which we have now seen and is devastating and then secondly, the loss of support from the president. And i think hearing karl Hasty Say what he said this evening, i think we are down to a very short period of time for Governor Cuomo. Shannon so he had a rebuttal ready. It was, appeared to be very produced Video Statement from him. He has also gone point by point talking about some of these allegations and these women and saying he never did anything inappropriate touching inappropriate conversation. Heres a little bit of what ann clarke, one of the Outside Attorneys who was tasked with investigating this, here is how she described the conduct she says they found recommendation while having hiS Picture taken with employee of a state entity, the governor grabbed this young womans butt. The governor also engaged in a widespread pattern of subjecting women to unwanted hugs and kisses and touching them in ways that made them uncomfortable. Conduct that is not just old fashioned affectionate behavior hes and some of his Staff Members would have it. But, unlawful sexbased harassment. Shannon thats something different than what we saw from the governor when he played this which i personally as a former shower. Attorney found a little bit bizarre this Video Montage of Him Hugging and kissing people. Jonathan, lets talk now about the other side of this, not political but the legal implications. Well, whats fascinating to me is, he may have locked himself into a defense at trial. Some of these statements could be admissible for purposes of impeachment or rebuttal. He is responding to an official report. He is explaining his conduct specifically with regard to people like bennett. And it will not play well, this idea that im old and a little Bit Gropey is not something that the jury is going to take well. But the other interesting aspect is that the opposing counsel could juxtapose the statement. He actually comes out and says that he was trying to engage in a type of therapeutic conversation with bennett because she is a former, you know, she is a victim of prior shower. Now, if you juxtapose that position, that statement in trial, with the statements of these women that they were groped and they were subjected to really creepy and offensive statements, it will not be a good moment for the defense he talks about welcoming the Judge And Jury in the case. He may just want to welcome the judge. Because im not too sure a jury is going to that be welcoming of this defense. Shannon andy, you know New York better than i do. You were a prosecutor there how is thiS Playing . It sounded like to me in the Governors Rebuttal to me was a little bit of victim shaming, of continuing to question these women, seeming to suggest that he was just trying to be a nice guy and throwing these women under the bus suggesting this waS Political in nature but, you know, short of impeachment, i dont know how he goes anywhere before his term is up. Yeah. Well, i think, shannon, that the Weather Vane here is Karl Hasting because he is actually very close to cuomo. And the thought here in New York was that as long as hasty was at the helm in the assembly, that cuomo would be fine. The thing is everybody always knew this Investigation Being Run by Leticia James who may also have aspirations to make a run for the governorship. Everybody knew this was the Time Bomb and i think by virtue of the fact that hasty Doing A 180 On Cuomo this afternoon, that shows the way the wind is blowing here in New York. This report had as well about information within the Governors Staff about attempts to potentially put together a coordinated effort to discredit some of these victims, allegations of retaliation, harassment, of trying to silence people. Mention of staffers and aides as well. Jonathan, Melissa Der Rosa is one whose name has come up again and again aS Part of this conversation. What Potential Liability would aides, people within his office who knew about these things who may have been taking part in the alleged retaliation, what worry should they have at thiS Point . First of all, thats a critical linchpin for impeachment. Much of this conduct is occurring on state ground. Also, if you are coordinating or allowing a Campaign Retaliation through state officials, you are really in Core Territory of impeachable, you know, conduct. This conduct extends to both criminal and civil allegations. Now, as to the staffers, they can be accused of creating a hostile workplace. The key here is that at least one of the 11 women is described as a current staffer. That can help them get around statute of limitations on the State Side which is shorter. Because in those type of cases you can actually pull in older cases to help prove that allegation. Shannon pattern and practice. Jonathan turley, mccarthy, good to see you. Thank you. Covid confusion. A short time ago the about Vaccination Mask Mandate as the Delta Variant continues to race through parts of the country. Is he also urging the unvaccinated to take the shot this is a very different variant than what we have dealt with previously. The president S Push to get people vaccinated moves on. Moving like wildfire through the u. Throughout the unvaccinated community. Its heart breaking because itS Preventable. Lately things have been confusing. Americans have received far too many mixed messages and muddied messages about vaccines masks and a what risks remain and for whom. Signs of covid Black And White not red and blue. Upset about resistance for masks for School Children or for the vaccinated in texas and florida. At a point in every Leaders Life they have to make a decision about whether they are going to abide by Public Health guidelines to save peoples lives or guided by politics. In new York Mayor Bill De Blasio is now hoping to ban anyone unvaccinated from doing pretty much anything indoors. You will have the key you yon open the door. If you are unvaccinated unfortunately you will not be able to participate in anything. Does the White House think thats fair for people have a religious region not to have the vaccine or waiting for the fda to approve it before they get it. The administration and the White House and the President Support steps by localities to take steps to protect people in their states and communities to incentivize people getting vaccinated. The president admits this isnt a problem that stops at the border. There is no wall high enough and no ocean wide enough to protect us from the virus. So, what is the thinking behind letting untested and unvaccinated migrants cross the Southern Border into u. S. Cities in Record Numbers . We have not withdrawn the order that is sometimes critical criticized saying that Unvaccinated People should be go back across the border. But, Unrah Companied children is a different story. Because that is the most humane thing to do is to test them and to treat them and not send them back alone. Vaccinations are very serious business at this White House. There was a lighter moment this evening, the president mistakenly said some states are offering up to 100,000 to get a vaccine shot. And he later corrected himself to say its just 100 but that if it was 100 K he would have gone back to get vaxxed three times. Shannon . Shannon he wouldnt have been the only one i have a feeling. Peter doocy at the White House. Thanks, peter. More on the cuomo allegations including how the media that once off and oned over the governor are handling the sunsational story. And we will bring in our panel as more reaction pours in. This is a very serious and damning report. I dont know that anyone could have watched this morning and not found the allegations to be abhorrent. The reported actions of the governor were profoundly disturbing, inappropriate, and completely unacceptable.

Shannon we at thiS Point our coverage now the stunning shower. Allegations against New York democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo and his response. Take a look how the media are reacting. Here is Fox News Media Analyst and host of Fox News Media Buzz Howie kurtz. It was just 16 months ago that Andrew Cuomo was high hailed by the media won him an emmy appearing on his Brother Chris cnn show. I have never been prouder of you than i am right now . Being tout ford national office. Now there is an official Draft Cuomo Movement out there to try to persuade Joe Biden to appoint him as his v. P. With his famous Family Name the governor was democratic royalty rational alternative to President Trump on covid. When the first allegations of Sexual Assault surfaced in february, they were ignored by the Network Evening Newscast and Msnbc And Briefly mentioned on cnn. Only after accuser Charlotte Bennett spog spoke to the New York times and went on the air. The governor is trying to sleep with me. Did the coverage pick up. Cuomo denied the allegations while apologizing for making anyone uncomfortable and once new Yorks Attorney General began to investigate the story soon faded until today. By engaging in unwanted groping, kisses, hugging, and by making inappropriate comments. When cuomo denied the findings by Leticia James though he apologized to Charlotte Bennett, he went after the pretty trial by newspaper or biased reviews are not the way to find the facts in this matter. But he asked for the a. G. Investigation and anchors and pundits were sharply critical across the Cable News Spectrum devastating for Governor Cuomo. Imagine the Twilight Zone these people working in. Normalizing illegal behavior while at the same time holding employees under a thumb of fear. The media are denouncing Governor Cuomo under blistering report and whether he can survive. Down Play Harassment allegations or portray any politician as a Super Hero when he may act very differently away from the cameras. Shannon howie, i understand that you mentioned cnns Chris Cuomo. Is he actually in this report. Thats right. Investigators found that Chris Cuomo in february, emailed a Draft Statement of denial to his Brothers Office saying his interactions may have been insensitive. We have similar to The One the governor actually delivered. And the Attorney General confirmed the Washington Post Report that the Cnn Host had also joined Damage Control calls about these accusations with his brother and top officials. Shannon . Shannon all right, howard kurtz, thank you very much. Lets bring in our panel now, the Washington Post Columnist Marc Thiessen Morgan Ortagus and Harold Ford Jr. Ceo of Empowerment And Inclusion capital. I want to what we heard from President Biden when asked a short time ago about thiS Point blank today heres what he said. 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 a fact. I have not read all that data. The president stood by his March Statement he said if these report comes back allegations appear to be factual i will call for his resignation or think that he should resign. He stuck by that today, maker . Marc. Good for him for doing it what is he going to do if he doesnt . Is he going to ostracize him . Cuomo learned the lesson from Bill Clinton if you are shameless and unrepentant and refuse to resign. If you want proof, despite what Bill Clinton did in office he was invited to speak at the democratic national Geneva Convention last year. Cuomo looks at that Bill Clinton can survive what he survived and still be welcome at the dnc why cant i . The other page taken from the Clinton Playbook is to victim shaming. He is accusing of harassing and retaliating against victims. He said that they are doing this for to score political points. This is the democratic State Attorney general, almost all i would assume all the victims who worked for him are democrats who agree with him ideologically. There is no politics here. He is just not going to resign. Its up to the state legislative tour kick him out. Shannon we have seen examples how this Works Morgan the governor there the Yearbook Photo that was allegedly of him, one of two characters both very offensive on the basis of race, he dug in his heels. I had him on someone on my show saying naacp he has to go democrat after democrat. He decided to ride out the storm and it worked for him. Why should Governor Cuomo feel any differently about that. You are right from a political perspective, shannon. Hopefully the new York State assembly does move towards impeachment. I dont know how the Chief Executive of a state could continue with these criminal allegations. And, shannon, what i think the travesty of all of this is the women. Clinton scandal decades men with power can get away with it if they stick it out. Everything marc just said was spot on and right. My heart breaks for the young women who want to go in politics who are watching this show and hear that well, if he just sticks it out and marc was totally right about this, then he can get away with it. What does it say to these young women who may be put in compromising situations with powerful men . Its gross. And frankly, i think the democratic party should do more than just calling for him to resign. As i checked going into thiS Program, he is still on act blueS Platform. Act blue the major Fundraising Apparatus of the most democratic candidates in the united states. Take him off the platform. Stop doing fundraisers. Shame anyone who supports him. You can do more actually as a party than just calling for him to resign. If you really want to hold him accountable, stop the money trail. Shannon here is something the governor himself tweeted in 2013, there should be a zero Tolerance Policy when it comes to shower. And must sandy clear message that this behavior is not tolerated. Harold, what he wanted to do today it seems is distinguish harassment from what his behavior was saying just goofy habits. Maybe a generational divide. But clearly, these Outside Attorneys, listen, he authorized this thing to take place for the a. G. s office. They found something on multiple occasions have crossed the line. So, first, thanks for having me. There is no doubt. This is a rigorous and thorough investigation. And the governor invited the investigation. As the investigations findings were released today, you had the president of the united states, the leader of the democratic party, likely the second in control of the democratic party in terms of a standpoint, the speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi asking for him to resign. You had the two senators from the state, Schumer And Gillibrand reiterate or underscore their call, and i think The One person in karl hasty was mentioned earlier, the Speaker Close to him signals there might be a shift in hiS Position, we will have to wait and see. The one politician in New York we are still waiting to hear from is Eric Adams who is likely to be the next mayor of the city. The question that i think that the politicians are going to have to answer is the public opinion question. Governor cuomo answered a lot of it today. He is immovable. Things like is he immovable. Will those legislators in the State House and State Senate in New York, will they be able to withstand public opinion if it shifts against him . Because it appears that the governor has made a decision, at least from his statement today, that what we know today and its likely that civil and criminal charges will come. If they do, we will be having a different conversation. But the onus now sits with the legislature. Because the governor has spoken. Hes not going to move it will take someone to move him if he is going to be moved at all. Shannon i want, again, to put up the accusers. Some of them we know their names and face, others we dont. Again, the governor is attempting to rebut everything that they have said and outside investigation has said at least 11 women where he crossed Line Something unlawful with federal and state law. We will see if prosecutors want to get involved. At thiS Point all we have is the a. G. s report and this conversation about impeachment. Panel, we will see you a little bit later.

Wuhan, a city of 12 Million is testing all residents for the coronavirus after officials detected seven cases there the first, they say, in more than a year. We have decided to quickly conduct testing for all the residents in our city to comprehensively screen out confirmed cases. There are reports of panicked buying and a city reverting this week to the lockdowns, Travel Reevictions and empty streets not seen since the pandemic began there in late 2019. Across the world, there is intense debate over thiS Pandemics beginnings in wuhan, whether it developed naturally or escaped from a Government Lab there. We need to keep this kind of digging. We need to keep the pressure up. This week republicans on the house foreign Affairs Committee issued a Report Arguing circumstantial evidence shows thiS Pandemic started at the wuhan institute of virology. A conclusiOn Chinas Foreign Ministry calls concocted lies and distorted facts. And smears and Slanders China in pursuit of political gains. Republicans say their report is only part of an ongoing investigation. And that congress should compel testimony from those in the u. S. Who worked with or approved grants for researchers in wuhan. I think we need to have a serious investigation, call these people before the congress, and it should be bipartisan but unfortunately, the democrats dont seem to be very interested in this. Congressional democratic leaders have pointed to the biden administrations 0 Day Intelligence Community review. That report is expected later this month. There is an absolute imperative to do all we can to get to the about the of this. Not only for the question of accountability but also for the important question of how we can save lives going forward. The u. S.

The State Department says it is too early to say if the administration would consider sanctions against china if it continued denying access. Shannon . Shannon Rich Edson at the State Department. Thank you, rich. The biden administration is issuing a new 60day Eviction Moratorium that would protect areas where 90 of the u. S. Population lives. The centers for Disease Control and prevention has identified it says a new legal authority for a new and different moratorium that would be for areas with high and substantial increases in covid19 infections.

If you are vaccinated, you are highly unlikely to get covid19. And even if you do, the chances are you wont show any symptoms and if you do, they will most likely be very mild. Last month, a study showed that over 99 of covid19 deaths have been among the Unvaccinated People. 99 . That means if you are unvaccinated you are much more likely to, one, get covid19, two, get hospitalized, and three die if you get it. Shannon as he continues hiS Push to get more americans vaccinated we are back with our panel. Morgan, i will start with you. You heard rich Edsons Statement from the State Department about the push On China to give more access for another more thorough investigation and a discussion whether the u. S. May consider sanctions if china doesnt. How do you see thiS Playing out . Well, they have been able to stall the entire world for a year and a half, shannon, you know, Mike Pompeo started calling for this in early 2020 trying to raise the alarm. And some countries, like australia, have stood up and called for an independent investigation, but what consequences has the Chinese Communist Party really suffered from hiding the origins of this virus . You see at a degrees the head of the w. H. O. Finally came out and said yes they are not complying with us. We are really not getting what we need. You see the Europe Peabodys and many other nations, including ours, continue to trade with china. They are not suffering economically, no one is holding them accountable really at any of these multilateral institutions. So its the west, the democracies if anybody wants to actually get to the truth of the origins of coast, its going to take a heck of a lot more pressure applied to the Chinese Communist Party than what theyre facing now. Shannon in the meantime ripple effects continue today. Today new York City Mayor Bill de blasio announcing he has a new program kicks in in september that you did not go into indoor dining, gyms, entertainment in other things in New York unless have you proof of at least one of the covid shots. Heres a bit of his Announcement Today. Someone is vaccinated they can do all the amazing things that are available in the city. This is a miraculouS Place literally full of wonders and if you are vaccinated, all that is going to open up to you. You will have the key. You can open the door. If you are unvaccinated, unfortunately you will not be able to participate in many things. Thats the point we are trying to get across. Shannon i saw a ton of reaction to this. Positive and negative. The first one i saw from parents hey, my kid is under 1. We were going to take a trip to New York. This isnt good for tourism because Kids Cant go to restaurants in New York and others who say high percentage of minority groups in New York who have not vaccinated for whatever reason and this is going to shut the door to them on, you know, the citys businesses. Whats your reaction . So, a couple things, i understand some of the frustration on the part of both sides. People are not vaccinated and people who are vaccinated. I think its important for people who are in positions of responsibility and positions of power like mayor de blasio to make it clear for heres how we keep our city safe. And if theyre going to take i live in New York. Is it going to take extra Steps Toe ensure that . I think that voters will ultimately make that decision. The facts are clear that Science Isnt changing, the virus is changing. One out of three new cases in our country are coming from two States Florida and texas. The data is clear, if you are vaccinated and i am, the likelihood of getting sick is far less than if you are. If you do get sick and contract the virus you are not going to find yourself in a Hospital Or God forbid suffering serious illness or even death. Corporate america is follow this lead as well. You see many companies requiring vaccinations and if that continues, i think you are going to find more cities, even universities, i think one of the Indiana University Today had their their decision to require some sort of decision to be upheld. More and more schools and companies and more and more municipalities do just this. Shannon marc, do you think we are going to lead we keep hearing about that two americans divided america over a number of issues. Are we going to have two americans when it comes to vaccinations and where you can access and live life . It looks like we are heading that way. Its a problem. I mean, the reality is what harold proposes and what the mayor of New York are doing is going to lead to more Vaccine Resistance. Its going to turn this into a political issue. Im not going to let the government to force me to put something in my body. Especially something if you ask a lot of hesitant people why they are not getting it because its still considered experimental dr. Drug on emergency authorization. The biden administration doesnt plan to have this thing fully authorized by the fda until 2022. There is no excuse for that and then the other thing thats so unfair about it is there are a lot of people who dont need to get vaccinated because they have natural immunity from prior infection. Marty makary our friend at Fox News john hopkinS Professor expert on this stuff says half the population has vaccinated immunity and there is a new israeli study that just came out which shows that natural immunity is almost seven times for powerful than vaccinated imcommunity. Why should we discriminate. The easiest way to get immunity is to get the vaccine but, you know, thats the safest and easiest way. Some people choose the hardway. They shouldnt be discriminated against because they got their immunity through surviving a covid infection. This is unfair mandate and its going to create more backlash and more Vaccine Resistance from the american people. Shannon a quick comment from you. You heard harold Reference Florida Governor Desantis Rip Roaring Presser down there we are not going to have masks in schools. We trust people to make the right decision. Taking a lot of heat over rising cases down there, your thought. Bottom line the governor is showing and reflecting the people of florida that want to make the best decisions for their children and for their own lives. Listen, i have always encouraged being a part of the administration. I have always encouraged vaccines and responsible behavior, but this is a country which prides Individuals Ability to make the best decision for their family there are some states that believe in that and others who dont.
