Here in New York, state lawmakers are moving ahead with preparations for impeachment proceedings against Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo. The New York State Assembly Judiciary Committee has begun collecting thousands of pages of documents and testimony used as evidence in the New York attorney general’s damning report, which found Governor Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women in violation of state and federal law. Judiciary Committee Chair Charles Lavine on Monday promised a swift impeachment probe.

Assemblymember Charles Lavine: “We anticipate that this process will be concluded very soon. … And when I say 'very soon,' I’m speaking about several weeks.”

In related news, the prominent lawyer Roberta Kaplan has resigned as the chair of Time’s Up over her role in advising Cuomo on how to respond to the sexual harassment allegations. Time’s Up is the organization that helps women who have been sexually harassed, abused or assaulted. Meanwhile, the Human Rights Campaign has launched an internal probe into reports that its president, Alphonso David, helped Cuomo discredit a woman who accused him of sexual harassment. David is a former legal adviser to Cuomo.
