20 January 2022: NY Attorney General's Office Releases Final Batch of Cuomo Sexual Harassment Probe Transcripts

Final set of transcripts, exhibits released in former NY governor Andrew Cuomo investigation

The New York State Attorney General's office has released the final transcripts and documentation it compiled as part of its investigation of Andrew M. Cuomo's alleged sexual harassment of multiple women.

The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) released the final transcripts, videos and evidence from the independent investigation into allegations of sexual harassment by former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Last year, Cuomo was accused by several women of sexual harassment, or inappropriate behavior. Cuomo has repeatedly denied those allegations.

The Attorney General's office says it was asked by several district attorneys to hold off on releasing the transcripts, as well as other evidence until they could investigate and determine if criminal charges should be filed against Cuomo.

The release of the final transcripts indicates the remaining two of five county prosecutors investigating allegations of Cuomo's sexual harassment of women within their jurisdictions may be nearing a conclusion for whether they will charge Cuomo. Previously, district attorneys in Nassau County, Westchester County, and Albany County announced they would not prosecute Andrew M. Cuomo, despite finding the allegations against Cuomo to be credible. Of these, the decision of Albany County's district attorney has raised the most questions of whether Cuomo's political influence and connections affected the Albany County DA David Soares' choice to drop the prosecution of the most serious allegations Cuomo faced that were documented in the NY AG's report of its investigation.
