Top New York lawmakers echo Cuomo s defense against resignation
ALBANY, N.Y. There appears to be no serious move towards impeaching New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a day after the state Senate s majority leader called on the embattled governor to quit.

In the statement, 21 women, all Democrats, wrote that, “Our democracy demands that we be diligent and expeditious in our search for truth and justice. This matter deserves no less degree of care. New York s attorney general, Tish James, is leading an investigation of the allegations.
