ALBANY, New York (LifeSiteNews) – A damning report by New York lawmakers found that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his senior aides edited state COVID-19 reports and undercounted nursing home deaths while using state resources to help Cuomo land a $5 million book deal.
The report, released Monday by the Judiciary Committee of the New York State Assembly, also found “overwhelming evidence” that the disgraced Democratic ex-governor sexually harassed or assaulted nearly a dozen women.
“The former governor’s conduct – as shown in this report – is extremely disturbing and is indicative of someone who is not fit for office,” said Judiciary Chairman Charles Lavine. “I hope this report helps New Yorkers further understand the seriousness of the allegations that have been made and serves to guide us to a more ethical and responsible government. New Yorkers deserve no less.”
New York House Speaker Carl Heastie commissioned the investigation in March as a part of an impeachment probe into the then-governor, who resigned in August, a week after the state attorney general’s office concluded that he had sexually harassed at least 11 women.
