New York Attorney General Letitia James has named two attorneys to lead an inquiry into sexual harassment allegations against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. They are former federal prosecutor Joon Kim and Anne Clark, an employment discrimination attorney. Governor Cuomo has resisted calls that he step down — including from prominent New York Democrats — after five women accused him of inappropriate verbal and physical conduct.
Meanwhile, the Crown Publishing Group told The New York Times Monday it will stop promoting and printing Governor Cuomo’s book about New York’s coronavirus outbreak. Sales of “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic” were already plummeting following reports that Cuomo’s aides pressured state health officials to cover up the true number of COVID-19 deaths in New York’s nursing homes.
