10 August 2021: Cuomo Attorney Holds Press Briefing to Challenge NY AG's Cuomo Sexual Harassment Findings

Gov. Cuomo’s attorney challenges credibility of AG’s sexual harassment report

This report documents the press briefing held by Andrew M. Cuomo's personal defense attorney on the morning of 10 August 2021.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s attorney Rita Glavin held a briefing Tuesday to address the accusations made against Cuomo.

The governor’s attorney also held a press conference on Friday where she challenged the credibility of the bombshell report from the New York Attorney General’s office that concluded the governor sexually harassed multiple women, including former and current state employees. Glavin reiterated her concerns about the report Tuesday.

“When this report came down there were dozens of people called for his resignation,” Glavin said. “The governor had no opportunity to respond, and journalists were saying things — that he had groped and fondled 11 women, and that wasn’t true, and that wasn’t in the report. The investigators acted as the prosecutors, judge, and jury of Gov. Cuomo. Nobody vetted the report.”

Glavin provided extended remarks seeking to undermine the credibility of several of Andrew M. Cuomo's alleged victims and the investigators who conducted the state attorney general office's probe. This entry was retroactively added to the timeline on 17 September 2021.
