State Attorney General Letitia James says the investigators she appointed have found Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women working in his office in violation of state and federal laws.
The conduct included unwanted groping, kissing, and hugging, and making inappropriate comments.
James says the investigation found the governor and his staff retaliated against a former employee who came forward.
She says the Governor's office was a "toxic" workplace that enabled “harassment to occur and created a hostile work environment.”
The investigators say the governor gave them only “blanket denials” and said he had a “lack of recollection as to specific incidents.”
Governor Cuomo is disputing the bombshell report.
Cuomo says his attorney has responded to each allegation against him, and he says the facts are different than what is being reported.
Cuomo said the allegations are false, and will apparently not resign.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand have released a joint statement saying they continue to call for Governor Cuomo to resign.
The statement says, "No elected official is above the law and that the people of New York deserve better leadership in the governor’s office."
They called the allegations against Cuomo profoundly disturbing, inappropriate, and completely unacceptable.
State lawmakers are also speaking out.
Democratic Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie controls the ongoing impeachment probe as tied to the allegations, and says today's report indicates someone who is not fit for office.
Similarly, State Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt calls today "sad and sobering" for all New Yorkers, going on to call for Governor Cuomo's resignation, saying he's a serial abuser.
