8 June 2021: Cuomo Mired in Multiple Criminal Probes

Andrew Cuomo's administration contends with invetigative scrutiny on multiple fronts

The Washington Post takes a stab at describing all the criminal investigations of Governor Cuomo and members of his administration regarding their multiple scandals that have come to light during the past year:

A team appointed by the New York state attorney general probing the workplace conduct of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is seeking to determine whether laws banning retaliation against sexual harassment victims were broken.

The attorney general's public integrity unit is separately scrutinizing whether the Democratic governor misused public resources when his administration provided Cuomo relatives with preferential conronavirus testing and aides helped him write a book last year that netted him more than $5 million.

And federal investigators have quizzed at least five former state Department of Health employees about the administration's handling of the coronavirus in nursing homes and whether the office deliberately misled the federal government and the public about the number of deaths last year.

An initial state probe launched earlier this year after several women accused Cuomo of inappropriate behavior has mushroomed into a number of wide-ranging investigations in which at least a dozen current and former staffers have been interviewed, according to eight people familiar with the various inquiries who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the cases are ongoing.

We couldn't help but notice the New York Assembly's boundless impeachment probe of Governor Cuomo's multiple scandals didn't even make the cut in the listing of investigations at the top of the WaPo's article. It is as if it is not considered to be in the same league by the authors of this report.
