8 June 2022: Cuomo Attorney Tries to Start Probe of Albany County Sheriff's Office

Cuomo’s attorney asks for probe into Albany County Sheriff’s Office

Andrew M. Cuomo's multiple scandals continue to be paced by the glacial movement of legal proceedings. This report reveals Cuomo's personal defense attorney is trying to launch an investigation into the Albany County Sheriff's Office, so far the only body to file criminal misdemeanor charges against Andrew M. Cuomo related to his alleged sexual harassment of a state government employee.

Rita Glavin, the attorney of former Governor Andrew Cuomo, has submitted a formal request asking for an investigation into the Albany County Sheriff’s Office. This comes after Glavin said Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple or someone in his office unlawfully disclosed information to the New York Post after a charge was brought against Cuomo.

The request was emailed to New York State Police Superintendent Kevin P. Bruen and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, asking for an investigation by the New York State Police and Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

In October 2021, the Albany County Sheriff’s Office filed a misdemeanor forcible touching complaint against Cuomo. The charge was dropped after the Albany County District Attorney said it wouldn’t prosecute the complaint.
