Earlier this week, the New York Attorney General\u2019s office released its own report, concluding that 11 women\u2019s allegations against Cuomo were \u201ccredible\u201d and that the governor likely committed violations of both state and federal law.<\/p>\n<p>At least 86 members of the Assembly are reportedly in favor of impeachment, more than half of the 150-member legislative body, and more than needed to impeach Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, a Democrat, noted Wednesday that, \u201cWhen these disturbing allegations first came to light, the governor must resign for the good of the state. Now that the investigation is complete and the allegations have been substantiated, it should be clear to everyone that he can no longer serve as governor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Assembly\u2019s Judiciary Committee, on Thursday, gave the governor 8 days to marshal and produce evidence of his innocence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe write to inform you that the Committee\u2019s investigation is nearing completion and the Assembly will soon consider potential articles of impeachment against your client,\u201d the committee\u2019s attorney wrote, per Politico.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccordingly, we invite you to provide any additional evidence or written submissions that you would like the Committee to consider before its work concludes. To the extent that you wish to share any such materials with the Committee, please do so by no later than 5:00 pm on August 13, 2021,\u201d the letter continued.<\/p>\n<p>The letter gave little indication of which way the Judiciary Committee is leaning, but it is now \u201cplanning to meet on Monday when members are expected to start making decisions about what the next steps will be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times, however, seems to believe that the letter is a sign that the committee is moving \u201cquickly\u201d so that the Assembly itself can begin impeachment proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Assembly began a broad impeachment inquiry into the governor in March, which had started slowly, in part because it was examining several scandals involving Mr. Cuomo, including his handling of nursing home deaths during the pandemic, that could lead to the governor\u2019s impeachment,\u201d The Times said Thursday. \u201cBut after a report from the New York State attorney general\u2019s office this week concluded that Mr. Cuomo had sexually harassed nearly a dozen women, the Assembly\u2019s leaders signaled that they intended to expedite their inquiry and move on to an impeachment vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo, of course, has maintained his innocence publicly and, following news that the Attorney General found the allegations against him credible \u2014 after speaking with 179 witnesses and reviewing tens of thousands of pieces of evidence, refused to resign. He said, instead, that his actions and language were misconstrued and that he would hire a consultant for his office to discuss how to recognize and handle incidents of sexual harassment.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
