Right now, both men are standing in a very bright spotlight,\u201d Stelter wrote in his \u201cReliable Sources\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/08\/03\/media\/andrew-cuomo-chris-cuomo-reliable-sources\/index.html\">newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span>The governor sexually harassed at least 11 women, an investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James\u2019 office found. The <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2021.08.03_nyag_-_investigative_report.pdf\">report<\/a> on the investigation was released on Tuesday. The report also detailed Chris Cuomo\u2019s role in advising his brother on the sexual harassment allegations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Chris Cuomo\u2019s \u201crole as a member of his brother\u2019s inner circle\u201d is detailed in the<span> attorney general\u2019s <\/span>report and \u201craises serious questions about journalistic responsibilities and ethics,\u201d Stelter wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Stelter noted that Cuomo did not address the accusations against his brother on his CNN primetime show on Tuesday or Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChris surely has a lot to say about his brother. But for the time being he is staying silent,\u201d Stelter wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the air, he has sounded protective of his brother at times; bitter about the political warfare at other times; and detached from it at other times. Overall, I\u2019d say, he sounded realistic about life as a member of his famous political family,\u201d Stelter added.<\/p>\n<p>Stelter defended his network\u2019s handling of the scandal in general, however, saying CNN\u2019s coverage of the governor was \u201cscathing all afternoon and evening\u201d on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><span>According to the report, Cuomo <\/span><span>violated federal and state laws by sexually <\/span><span>harassing current and former New York state employees, as well as several women outside of state government, including members of the public. The report found that Cuomo <\/span><span>touched their \u201cintimate body parts\u201d without consent and engaged in \u201cunwanted groping, kissing, hugging.\u201d Cuomo also made \u201cnumerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In March, after several women came forward to accuse Governor Cuomo of sexual harassment, Chris Cuomo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/chris-cuomo-announces-he-cannot-cover-brother-gov-andrew-cuomo\">said<\/a> on his show that he is aware of the scandals plaguing his brother but he cannot cover them \u201cbecause he is my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However in spring last year, during the dog days of the pandemic in New York City, Cuomo frequently invited his brother on his show during which they exchanged light-hearted banter, joking about who was their mother\u2019s favorite and how big of a Q-tip Governor Cuomo would need for a coronavirus test.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Cuomo was also weathering his administration\u2019s dismal handling of the coronavirus in nursing homes, where thousands died last year due to the governor\u2019s disastrous policy of forcing nursing homes to accept coronavirus-positive patients after they were discharged from the hospital. In February, a Cuomo aide admitted to covering up the actual nursing home death toll in New York in order to hide the data from federal authorities.<\/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.
