Cuomo resigns after investigation finds he harassed multiple women | TheHill
Cuomo had been inundated with calls for his resignation and faced an impeachment hearing in the state Assembly that appeared all but guaranteed to spark a trial in the state Senate. Should he have survived potential impeachment proceedings, he also faced daunting reelection prospects in 2022.
But he appeared defiant to the end.
ADVERTISEMENTHis resignation followed a 45-minute news conference from Rita Glavin, his attorney, during which she rebutted the allegations in the report and attacked the credibility of the investigators and women who came forward with accusations, as well as the media that covered them.
Cuomo, in his own press conference immediately after, maintained he had intended no harm but announced he would be stepping down in 14 days.
