Prosecutors in New York City and Westchester County piled on Monday and revealed that they’ve launched criminal investigations into sexual harassment allegations
made against Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the explosive report released by state Attorney General Letitia James.
Westchester DA Mimi Rocah also
issued a statement saying, “As some of the Governor’s conduct described in the report occurred in Westchester County, we have formally requested investigative materials obtained by the AG’s Office.”
The announcements followed a Tuesday night interview in which Albany DA County David Soares said he’d
launched a probe and urged any potential victims to cooperate with his office, saying that “we will conduct our investigation as discreetly as possible.”
Soares also
told NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt that James’ 168-page report had “led myself and other prosecutors with concurrent jurisdiction to believe that criminal activity in fact had taken place.”
In a video statement released Tuesday, Cuomo repeated his claim that “I never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances,” and
suggested he was the victim of a smear campaign.
“Politics and bias are interwoven throughout every aspect of this situation. One would be naive to think otherwise. And New Yorkers are not naive,” he said.
