Andrew Cuomo

The governor's farewell speech comes nearly two weeks after he announced his resignation from office following sexual assault allegations from 11 women.

The sexual harassment investigation and impending resignation of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has entangled multiple Cuomo allies, including the leader of the LGBTQ group the Human Rights Campaign.

"I know the difference between putting together a case against a target versus doing independent fact-finding with an open mind," Andrew Cuomo's lawyer Rita Glavin said on Friday.

The woman's account was also included in the 165-page report released by New York's attorney general this week that said Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and created a hostile work environment.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo allegedly relied on liberal allies to fight charges of sexual harassment. Now, one of those allies, the head of Human Rights Campaign, is facing demands that he resign.

Should Gov. Andrew Cuomo be impeached or choose to resign, New York Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul would be next in line and would become the state's first woman to hold the position.

The New York state attorney general's office detailed multiple incidents of harassment or inappropriate comments made by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and said he created a "hostile work environment."

Last March, New York was an epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, and testing was hard to come by. New York law prohibits officials from using their positions to secure privileges or exemptions.

Two former aides to Cuomo have come forward with complaints of sexual harassment during their time in his administration. The investigation's findings will be disclosed in a public report.

Former economic adviser Lindsey Boylan alleges harassing behavior starting in 2016, including an unwanted kiss and a suggestion of strip poker, after being told the governor had a "crush" on her.

A report issued by Attorney General Letitia James concluded the New York State Department of Health numbers fell short by "as much as 50%."

The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced that New York's governor will be recognized Monday for his "use of television to inform and calm people around the world."
