New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has dug in for the fight of his political life despite the threat of potential criminal investigations and widespread calls for his impeachment over findings that he sexually harassed 11 women, including close aides.
Scores of Democrats, including President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and some past Cuomo loyalists, have urged him to leave office or face an impeachment battle he probably cannot win.
In her first public interview in which she identified herself, Brittany Commisso told "CBS This Morning" and the Albany Times-Union that the governor "needs to be held accountable." Glavin said it's clear to Cuomo that people who "worked for him felt that he was invading their space and that it was unwanted."
Some lawmakers want an impeachment vote in days, but committee members say the probe could wrap up in a month. State law requires at least 30 days between an Assembly impeachment vote and Senate impeachment trial."What we need to do the soonest is to get Cuomo out of power because of the way he uses it, like a weapon," the Bronx Democrat said.
