His former senate aide Tara Reade accused him of sexual assault. The Washington Post and the New York Times published multiple accounts of women who objected to the way President Biden touched them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShould there be an independent investigation of allegations into the president as there was into Governor Cuomo?\u201d the reporter asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, first I would say the president has been clear and outspoken about the importance of women being respected and having their voices heard and being allowed to tell their stories and people treating them with respect. That has long been his policy continues to be his policy,\u201d Psaki said. \u201cThat was heavily litigated during the campaign. I understand you\u2019re eager to come back to it. But I don\u2019t have anything further other than to repeat that he has called for the governor to resign.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.8620689655172\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Asked by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypost?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NYPost<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stevennelson10?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@StevenNelson10<\/a> if there should be an independent investigation of President Biden for his treatment of women, Jen Psaki says he&#8217;s &#8220;been clear and outspoken about the importance of women&#8221; and claims against him were &#8220;heavily litigated during the campaign.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zyD7s9YVNa\">pic.twitter.com\/zyD7s9YVNa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CurtisHouck\/status\/1422976652808757248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Psaki was also asked during the press conference whether the Biden administration planned to strip Cuomo of his leadership position on the biweekly pandemic calls that the nation\u2019s governors participate in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure when the next one is scheduled. But again, I would convey that our objective is not to hurt the people of New York in the fight against COVID,\u201d Psaki said. \u201cIf he is no longer the governor of New York, which is certainly what the President made clear of is his preference, then we will engage with other people.
