Clinton Breaks Silence on Sexual Harassment Allegations Against Cuomo

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is breaking her silence on sexual harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).

“These stories are difficult to read, and the allegations brought forth raise serious questions that the women who have come forward and all New Yorkers deserve answers to. I’m glad to see that there will be a full, independent, and thorough investigation,” Clinton said in a statement.

Cuomo is now facing sexual harassment allegations from two of his former aides.

Former aides Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett both accused Cuomo of unwanted sexual advances.

The governor released a statement on Sunday where he apologized for his behavior, as IJR reported.

“I now understand that my interactions may have been insensitive or too personal and that some of my comments, given my position, made others feel in ways I never intended. I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that,” he said.

Cuomo denied the allegations and said, “I never inappropriately touched anybody, and I never propositioned anybody, and I never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable.”
