21 May 2021: NY Attorney General's Probe of Cuomo Scandals Still Underway

NY AG: Cuomo probe will 'conclude when it concludes'

New York Attorney General Letitia James held a public briefing today, in which she provided few details but confirmed her office is continuing to investigate several of Governor Cuomo's scandals:

New York Attorney General Letitia James said Friday that an ongoing investigation surrounding Gov. Andrew Cuomo will “conclude when it concludes,” and said she has ignored criticism from his top aide that the probe is politically motivated.

James told reporters the ongoing investigation into whether the governor sexually harassed women, including female employees, is “very thorough and comprehensive.” Her office is also probing whether Cuomo illegally used state resources to write and promote his COVID-19 leadership book, for which the Democrat is set to earn over $5 million.

The top aide to whom James refers is Richard Azzopardi, who was just promoted to be Governor Cuomo's chief PR flack despite a history of tone-deaf verbal attacks on several female elected state officials and victims of Governor Cuomo's COVID nursing home deaths scandals.
