7 August 2021: Cuomo Claims Through Lawyer He Was "Ambushed" by NY Atty General

In-hiding Cuomo sics lawyers on sex accusers, claim he was ‘ambushed’ by AG James

The remarkable claim made on alleged sexual harassment perpetrator New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's behalf was issued by Cuomo attorney Rita Glavin on Friday, 6 August 2021.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo remained in hiding at the Executive Mansion Friday but sent out a team of lawyers to publicly attack some of the 11 women he’s accused of sexually harassing — and to claim that Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation was rigged against him.

“The governor deserves to be treated fairly and he must be,” insisted Rita Glavin, Cuomo’s personal defense lawyer in a Zoom press conference that was also broadcast on the governor’s official state website.

“That did not happen here. This was one-sided and he was ambushed.”...

During the hourlong virtual news conference, Glavin suggested there were improper ties between James and Lindsey Boylan, the former Cuomo aide whose allegations sparked the harassment scandal.

Glavin, a former US Justice Department official, cited alleged phone conversations between James’ chief of staff and a consultant who worked on Boylan’s failed campaign for Manhattan borough president, and she questioned whether investigators had looked into them.

Andrew M. Cuomo has not directly engaged in any interaction with the public or the news media since the New York Attorney General's 3 August 2021 report.
