The State Assembly now has a top team of lawyers to lead the impeachment investigation into Governor Cuomo.
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie says the team at Davis, Polk And Wardwell will be authorized to go after all evidence regarding the serious allegations against the governor.
One of the attorneys was part of a team investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and part of the prosecution of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
Several women have accused Cuomo of sexual misconduct, and Cuomo faces criticism in the way he's handled coronavirus nursing home data.
