During the interview, Cuomo reportedly became testy with one of the lead investigators, accusing Joon Kim, a former prosecutor, of being biased against the governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFew details have emerged from the meeting, which took place on Saturday, July 17; the participants are barred under state law from publicly discussing the interviews, but five people briefed on the encounter shared some details on the condition of anonymity,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/02\/nyregion\/cuomo-sexual-harassment-investigation.html\">The New York Times<\/a> reported. \u201cThe confidential nature of the meeting was underscored by the investigators\u2019 exit: They were whisked away at night through a loading dock to avoid photographers staking out the entrance to the governor\u2019s building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Members of Cuomo\u2019s inner circle of aides and advisors have already been interviewed. The governor\u2019s interview could be a signal that the investigation is nearing completion and that a report will soon be sent to the attorney general\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<p>On March 1, Cuomo approved the investigation into his past conduct and treatment of women as he faced numerous calls to resign. Cuomo has repeatedly denied accusations that he ever touched women inappropriately, though he has conceded that some of his comments may have made women uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Top aides for Cuomo have suggested that the investigation into the governor is being driven by politics, citing Kim\u2019s history of investigating the governor when Kim ran the U.S. attorney\u2019s office of the Southern District of New York in 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investigation started at the request of the governor after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment. It is being carried out by independent investigators who have decades of experience,\u201d attorney general spokeswoman Delaney Kempner told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/08\/02\/politics\/andrew-cuomo-new-york-attorney-general-investigation\/index.html\">CNN<\/a> in a statement. \u201cThe continued attempts to undermine and politicize this process are dishonest and take away from the bravery displayed by these women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The investigation into Cuomo\u2019s treatment of women also came amid a slew of other inquiries into the governor, including one launched by the Democratic-controlled New York legislature into whether Cuomo should be removed from office. The governor is also facing investigations into his handling of nursing home residents amid the pandemic and an alleged effort to cover up the true extent of COVID-19 deaths among New York\u2019s elderly population.<\/p>\n<p>The impeachment inquiry covers a wide range of potential misconduct committed by the governor.
