Cuomo Pressed on Whether He Would Resign if State Attorney General Concludes He Sexually Harassed Women

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is not yet willing to say if he would resign if the state’s attorney general, Letitia James, determines that he sexually harassed women.

On Wednesday, the governor was asked for a “yes or no” answer on whether he would resign if James determines he violated that state’s harassment laws. He said, “Let’s see what the report says, and then we will take it from there.”

“I’m 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 don’t 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 I’m looking forward to that. But now is not the time,” he added.

Cuomo has been accused by at least eight women of sexual harassment ranging from unwanted touching to inappropriate comments. The allegations have prompted calls for his resignation from Democrats on the state and federal level.

He has denied any wrongdoing as he said, “Women have a right to come forward and be heard, and I encourage that fully. But I also want to be clear: there is still a question of the truth. I did not do what has been alleged, period.”

He also claimed it is “reckless and dangerous” for politicians to call for his resignation.

Cuomo also previously said that he would not resign, “I wasn’t elected by politicians, I was elected by the people of the state of New York. I’m not going to resign.”

Along with the state attorney general’s review of the allegations, the state’s Assembly has launched an impeachment probe.
