18 November 2021: Cuomo Defense Attorney Wants Special Access to NY Assembly Impeachment Report Before It Goes Public

Cuomo attorney assails AG James, asks to see Assembly impeachment report before it goes public

Andrew M. Cuomo's attorney has previously attempted to influence the writing of the New York Assembly's report on the findings of its investigators' probe into multiple episodes of Cuomo's alleged misconduct in office. Now, as legislators are lining up to read the report, one by one, she's demanding to see it before anyone in the public is allowed to read it.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s attorney wants the chance to review the state Assembly’s soon-to-be-released impeachment report before it’s made public.

Cuomo’s attorney Rita Glavin said Thursday she wants to see all the evidence collected by the law firm contracted to probe a host of allegations against the disgraced Democrat.

“The fact that we have not been given access to the evidence puts us in a position where we can not respond adequately,” she said during a virtual press conference.

The pitch comes as the Assembly readies to release the results of its aborted impeachment probe, which is expected to back many of the damning sexual harassment allegations outlined in an August report from investigators working under Attorney General Letitia James.

Andrew M. Cuomo must really miss the days when he could abuse his power and influence the way his attorney now demands for the very same reasons he did while New York's governor.
