“We watched the news yesterday as everyone did,” he told PIX 11 News. “I saw the attorney general’s remarks. But beyond that, that’s our involvement.”
This news comes as David Soares, the District Attorney for Albany County, announced his office’s plans to open a criminal investigation against Cuomo. Soares said he planned to request investigative materials from the state attorney general so that his office could look into claims brought forth by 11 women, most of whom worked for the state government.
Westchester County District Attorney Mimi Roach also said her office would begin a criminal investigation looking into any sexual harassment claims against the governor. Cuomo owned a home in the town of Mount Kisco within the county up until December 2020.
“As some of the governor’s conduct described in the report occurred in Westchester County, we have formally requested investigative materials obtained by the AG’s office,” Roach said in a statement.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
