![]() ![]() They have focused on the most serious allegations, leveled by former Cuomo aides Lindsey Boylan and Brittany Commisso. Glavin and Cuomo's former top aides, armed with many of those documents, have waged an aggressive public relations campaign in recent weeks questioning James' investigation. (An Albany City Court judge earlier this month granted motions filed by prosecutors and Glavin to dismiss the case, which Albany County District Attorney David Soares said could not be proven "beyond a reasonable doubt.")īut other records that were not publicly released by the attorney general's office - and information that was redacted from many of the transcripts - reveal that the attorney general's investigators apparently did not follow up on leads that may have called into question some of the sworn testimony that formed the basis of their conclusion that Cuomo had sexually harassed multiple women. They were made public after Glavin had already received many of those records through pre-trial discovery in the now-closed criminal case in which Cuomo was accused of groping a female aide at the executive mansion in December 2020. Last week, James's office released what is said is the final series of depositions and exhibits from the investigation. "Thousands of pages of transcripts, exhibits, videos, and other evidence have already been publicly released, but these lies continue in an effort to mask the truth: Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women." "Another day, another attempt by the former governor to attack the brave women who called out his abuse," state Attorney General Letitia James' office said in a statement issued after Glavin attacked the credibility of the investigation two weeks ago. An investigation by the state Assembly's Judiciary Committee also concluded that many of the allegations were valid and that the governor had engaged in sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior. But under New York's statutes, three of the district attorneys said, the allegations could not be successfully prosecuted as crimes. The attorney general's office and multiple district attorneys who investigated many of the women's allegations found their accounts credible. Still, the documents - in addition to the public statements of women who have accused Cuomo of misconduct - also confirm that at times the governor's admitted behavior, including kissing, touching and hugging his aides and a female trooper on his protective detail, arguably violated the state's regulations governing workplace conduct. ![]()
