That from the US Justrice Dept….
It runs along the same findings that caused the then New York Governor to step down ferom office after the state Attorney gweneral conducted her investigation of Cuomo’s actions….
There has been no criminal charges…..
And?
Cuomo seems to be getting ready for running for the City of New York’s Mayor…
And?
Chances ARE seen as Good….
He joins the long list of politicans with the same history….
The Department of Justice concluded that former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and his executive staff subjected female employees to a “sexually hostile work environment,” and then retaliated against several who complained, according to a settlement announced on Friday.
The findings appear to largely substantiate the investigation by the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who concluded that Mr. Cuomo had sexually harassed 11 women, amid a culture of fear and intimidation. Mr. Cuomo, who denied having sexually harassed anyone, resigned in August 2021, shortly after the release of Ms. James’s report.
Since his departure, Mr. Cuomo has engaged in a multipronged campaign to discredit the report and Ms. James as being politically motivated, and has been slowly maneuvering toward re-entering political life….
…
And though he has been out of office for more than two years, Mr. Cuomo has never slipped far from public view: Less than a year after his resignation, he began appearing at Black churches, long considered a trusted Democratic source of support.
Six months later, he began a podcast that allowed him to opine on issues of national political strategy. His name has increasingly arisen among political insiders as a contender for marquee races across the state, from senator to mayor of New York City — sometimes after the release of mysteriously funded polls about his popularity.
The leader of the State Democratic Party, Jay Jacobs, said the report could complicate an attempted Cuomo comeback, though it would be up to voters to decide whether it should preclude him from office.
“It’s certainly not a plus,” said Mr. Jacobs, who, in 2021, had encouraged Mr. Cuomo to resign. “If he were ever to choose to run for something, he’ll have to address it with the voters.”
Mr. Cuomo is not accused of criminal wrongdoing; an earlier case, in which he was charged with groping a former executive staff member, Brittany Commisso, was dropped after the Albany County district attorney found that there was not sufficient evidence to proceed. District attorneys in Westchester, Nassau, Manhattan and Oswego Counties also investigated the conduct in Ms. James’s report, but chose not to pursue charges against the former governor.
In November, Ms. Commisso noted her intent to sue Mr. Cuomo and the State of New York in civil court. That case, first reported by The Times Union, also includes an accusation that Ms. Hochul retaliated against her by reassigning her not long after Mr. Cuomo’s resignation….
Shorter version: He’s a Democrat, so its ok.
It’s NOT ok…..
But they ALL seem to get away with this stuff….
BOTH parties….
No, usually people, in both parties who did what Cuomo did and get caught enter, or anything else that causes them to resign under scandal, enter political oblivion, which is where he should stay.
Hopefully New Yorkers can find a Mayor who has not been accused of sexual assault or who is a complete megalomaniac.
CG?
Donald Trump has a TRAIL of sexual misconduct,
He became President of the United States
The current Mayor of NYC the same…….
I would submit that your statement no longer has any merit
