The findings, detailed in a scathing 168-page report, could deal a devastating blow to Cuomo's political future and hinder his administration.
An investigation that went on for five months has found that New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo, 63, sexually harassed multiple women in violation of federal and state law.
James added that the Democratic governor's office had become a"toxic workplace" that enabled harassment to occur. "What this investigation revealed was a disturbing pattern of conduct by the governor of the great state of New York," James added.Carl Heastie, Speaker of the Democratic-controlled New York Assembly who has authorised an impeachment investigation into Cuomo's conduct, in a statement called the report's findings"disturbing" and said they pointed to"someone who is not fit for office.
James launched her investigation into the allegations after receiving a formal request from Cuomo's office on March 1 to do so as the number of publicly reported allegations mounted. The report shows that investigators did not find Cuomo's explanations about his encounters to be credible. It said Cuomo's"blanket denials and lack of recollection as to specific incidents stood in stark contrast to the strength, specificity, and corroboration of the complainants' recollections."
