A lawsuit was filed in New York state court this week against state Attorney General Letitia James by Andrew Cuomo.
The former Governor is suing to force James to turn over interviews conducted in the sexual misconduct investigation that ultimately led to his resignation in 2021. That report by the attorney general’s office concluded he sexually harassed at least 11 women. Cuomo has denied the allegations.
Rich Azzopardi, a spokesperson for Cuomo, released the following statement:
“Every single piece of information that has come out over the last two years has done nothing but undermine Tish James’ sham report and, after publicly stating that ‘evidence will be made available to the public’, she’s done everything she can to hide these documents from taxpayers. This was a political hit job from the beginning to pave the way for Tish’s failed campaign for governor and it’s sad that the courts are needed to step in and order the state’s top lawyer to stop violating the law.”
