Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is indicating to allies he may want to run for New York City mayor if fellow Democrat Eric Adams sinks under the weight of a federal investigation….

Publicly, Cuomo has been sympathetic of Adams amid the investigation into the mayor’s campaign and whether it colluded with the Turkish government and received illegal campaign donations.
Adams, whose electronic devices were seized for several days by federal investigators, has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
“I think they have been very heavy-handed here with the mayor, publicly humiliating the mayor,” Cuomo said in an interview with Fox 5 in New York City this month.
Cuomo would also face a similar challenge with voters after his decadelong administration ended in scandal. Cuomo is being sued by two women, a former aide and a former member of his State Police security detail over sexual harassment allegations.
Cuomo has sought to counter the allegations in a bombshell report released by James’ office through deposing several of the women who accused him of harassment in the report and having them questioned by his attorneys.
Cuomo has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

The window to sue expired at midnight Thursday.
Cuomo ultimately resigned as governor in August 2021 following sexual misconduct allegations by Commisso and several other women. He has denied the allegations….
