A woman who last week filed a criminal complaint against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for sexual misconduct has come forward to share her story. Brittany Commisso, who appeared as “executive assistant 1” in the New York attorney general’s report on Cuomo, said the governor groped her, kissed her against her will and verbally harassed her. Commisso spoke to CBS News’s Jericka Duncan.
Jericka Duncan: “Why did you file that criminal complaint with the sheriff’s office?”
Brittany Commisso: “It was the right thing to do. The governor needs to be held accountable.”
Jericka Duncan: “And just so I’m clear, again, being held accountable, to you, means seeing the governor charged with a crime?”
Brittany Commisso: “What he did to me was a crime. He broke the law.”
The New York State Judiciary Committee is meeting this morning to discuss potential impeachment proceedings. Meanwhile, Cuomo’s top aide and fierce defender, Melissa DeRosa, resigned Sunday amid the mounting scandal.
