New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is confident that New York State Attorney General Letitia Jamesā (D) investigation into sexual harassment allegations will not find wrongdoing.
On Monday, Cuomo categorically denied allegations of sexual harassment levied against him by at least eight women.
When asked if he would ādisciplineā himself or resign if Jamesā report found that he did harass women, he said, āThe report canāt say anything different because I didnāt do anything wrong.ā
Watch the video below:
Cuomo is facing several allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied. However, James is investigating them, and the New York State Assembly has launched an impeachment investigation into them as well.
In a press conference in March, Cuomo said he ānever touched anyone inappropriately.ā He also said he did not know that he made his accusers feel uncomfortable.
The allegations have led state Democratic lawmakers and members of the stateās Congressional delegation to call for his resignation.
Last week, Cuomo was asked if he would resign if the state attorney generalās investigation found that he sexually harassed women.
āLetās see what the report says, and then we will take it from there,ā he responded.
He added, āIām not going to have any comment on a review that is underway beyond that. I was attorney general of the state. I said to everyone, during a review, please donāt comment during the pendency of the review. Let the review go on. At the appropriate time, I will have a comment about the review and about the facts, and about the truth, and Iām looking forward to that. But now is not the time.ā
