6 August 2021: NY Assembly Sets Deadline for Cuomo to Provide Materials in Impeachment Probe

Assembly panel will 'soon' consider impeachment of Cuomo

This report indicates the NY Assembly is accelerating its probe of the Cuomo administration.

The state Assembly's Judiciary Committee on Thursday announced their impeachment investigation of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo "is nearing completion" and the panel "will soon consider potential articles of impeachment" against the governor.

"Accordingly, we invite you to provide any additional evidence or written submissions that you would like the committee to consider before its work concludes," attorneys for the committee, Davis Polk & Wardwell, wrote in a letter to the governor's counsel.

The notification to the governor signals the rapidly increasing pace of the impeachment process following Tuesday's release of a investigative report from the office of state Attorney General Letitia James that concluded the governor is a serial sexual harasser who has allegedly victimized 11 women, including a state trooper assigned to his protective detail.

The letter informed the governor's administration to provide any materials to the committee by 5 p.m. on Aug. 13. The committee is also scheduled to meet on Monday at 9:30 a.m.

At this time, the Cuomo administration has indicated it will cooperate with the request.
