Gov cuomo press conference today time12/15/2023 “Admission to the bar is not an entitlement for the powerful, but an earned privilege,” said the nine-page complaint, which was dated Tuesday. Separately, the Sexual Harassment Working Group, made up of seven former legislative members, said it had filed a complaint to the Attorney Grievance Committee requesting a probe of Cuomo and disciplinary action against him. “These attacks are disgraceful and yet another desperate charade to mask the truth: Andrew Cuomo is a serial sexual harasser.” “If he thinks he has a real legal case, he should go ahead and file it,” James’ office said in a statement. He also claimed that James’ investigation was marked by suppressed evidence that did not comport with the probe’s finding.Īfter Glavin’s news conference, James’ office fired back. “There needs to be an examination of what happened here.” ”There’s a reason five DAs looked at this report, and 11 cases suddenly became zero,” Azzopardi said in a statement on Thursday. James, also a Democrat, launched a short-lived run for governor in the fall. It was not clear when Cuomo would file the complaint.Ĭuomo’s representatives have argued that James’ investigation was politically motivated. Glavin resisted getting into details about the complaint, saying that Cuomo would file it himself. She also said Cuomo would file a complaint against James with the court system’s Attorney Grievance Committee over her handling of the probe. Glavin said Thursday that Cuomo did not sexually harass anyone and that “he’s not going to move on.” But multiple prosecutors said they found allegations against him credible.Ī state Assembly report published in November described the evidence of Cuomo’s sexual misconduct as “overwhelming.” James’ office released a bombshell report in August that said Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women, prompting his resignation.Ĭuomo, a 64-year-old Democrat who once served as state attorney general, has sought to rebut the allegations. In a rare interview with Bloomberg News last week, he claimed he was “vindicated” by the decisions of five New York district attorneys not to press criminal charges against him. Still, the former governor is currently sitting on $16.4 million in cash, giving him several options within the influential sphere of New York state politics. Cuomo’s spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, said Thursday that Cuomo does not intend to run against James.
