Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) should be thoroughly investigated.<\/p>\n<p>In December, former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan alluded to sexual harassment in a Twitter post, which was largely ignored by mainstream media outlets. Last week, she finally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/woman-who-accused-andrew-cuomo-of-sexual-harassment-finally-details-allegations\">detailed<\/a> her allegations against the governor. Days later, a second former aide, Charlotte Bennett, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/now-its-two-second-woman-claims-cuomo-sexually-harassed-her\">came forward<\/a> with her own allegations. On Monday, The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/01\/nyregion\/cuomo-harassment-anna-ruch.html\">reported<\/a> the accusations of a third woman, Anna Ruch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These stories are difficult to read, and the allegations brought forth raise serious questions that the women who have come forward and all New Yorkers deserve answers to,&#8221; Clinton said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/hillary-clinton-responds-andrew-cuomo-sexual-harrassment\">a statement<\/a> obtained by Fox News. &#8220;I\u2019m glad to see that there will be a full, independent, and thorough investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is a different approach than what Clinton took when her own husband, former President Bill Clinton, was accused of sexual harassment and rape. Hillary at that time allegedly called his accusers &#8220;trailer trash.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Clinton\u2019s comments come after New York Attorney General Letitia James called for an investigation into the allegations against Cuomo that went further than the investigation he called for himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo clarify, I do not accept the governor\u2019s proposal. The state\u2019s executive law clearly gives my office the authority to investigate this matter once the governor provides a referral,\u201d James wrote on Twitter. \u201cWhile I have deep respect for Chief Judge DeFiore, I am the duly elected attorney general and it is my responsibility to carry out this task. The governor must provide this referral so an independent investigation with subpoena power can be conducted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/02\/28\/politics\/cuomo-harassment-claims-independent-lawyer\/index.html\">reported<\/a> at the time that Cuomo\u2019s original request to hand-pick Federal Judge Barbara Jones to investigate the allegations against him was dropped due to the \u201cperception of a lack of independence of inference of politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the day after James\u2019 tweet, she announced \u201cthat Cuomo&#8217;s office had sent her a letter allowing her to conduct an independent investigation,\u201d Fox reported.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/woman-who-accused-andrew-cuomo-of-sexual-harassment-finally-details-allegations\">reported<\/a>, Boylan accused Cuomo of numerous instances of sexual harassment, which he has denied, alleging he suggested they play \u201cstrip poker\u201d while on a taxpayer-funded jet (others on the trip also deny this happened) and he was constantly touching her on her \u201clower back, arms and legs.\u201d She also claimed he wanted her around often because she looked like a woman he used to date. Boylan also claimed Cuomo kissed her on the lips once without her permission.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett claimed Cuomo asked her about her sex life and whether she had sex with older men. Ruch claimed that at a wedding Cuomo put his hand on her lower back, and that when she removed it he called her \u201caggressive\u201d and put his hands on her cheeks, asking if he could kiss her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was so confused and shocked and embarrassed,\u201d Ruch told the Times. \u201cI turned my head away and didn\u2019t have words in that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruch\u2019s account was corroborated by a friend who heard Cuomo ask for a kiss and photographs of him with his hands on Ruch\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/subscribe\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
