Hereâs how Governor Cuomo could get impeached and last updated 2021-08-03 23:19:41-04 BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â Governor Cuomo says he will not resign, but he could get impeached. So, whatâs next? Retired New York State Supreme Court Judge, Penny Wolfgang, said criminal and civil cases are next. âThe women who are the victims could file civil lawsuits against the governor for damages because of all the harassment and things that happened to them,â Wolfgang said. "Criminal proceedings would be by the district attorney in Albany County where the assaults allegedly occurred." The Speaker of the New York State Assembly said in a statement Tuesday that âit is abundantly clear to me that the governor has lost the confidence of the assembly democratic majority and that he can no longer remain in office. Once we receive all relevant documents and evidence from the attorney general, we will move expeditiously and look to conclude our impeachment investigation as quickly as possible."
