In this image taken from video provided by Office of the NY Governor, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo makes a statement on a pre-recorded video released, Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2021, in New York. An investigation into New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has found that he sexually harassed multiple current and former state government employees. State Attorney General Letitia James announced the findings Tuesday.
The text was sent after The New York Times reported on a sexual harassment allegation that occurred at a 2019 wedding. "It was an avalanche of documents from the state AG's probe that buried CNN with bad press, such as the liberal Atlantic magazine writing ‘Chris Cuomo Must Go.’ That's when Zucker, who greenlighted all those joking interviews with the brothers last year, felt compelled to act. He protected his man until the new details proved too damaging."
