Andrew Cuomo speaks during the daily media briefing at the Office of the Governor of the State of New York on July 23, 2020 in New York City. (Jeenah Moon\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 12:30 PM PT \u2013 Sunday, August 8, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Authorities in Albany County have opened an investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.), which stemmed from a criminal complaint filed from a former aid. On Saturday, Sheriff Craig Apple announced the ongoing investigation into the embattled governor after the staffer complained Cuomo groped her at his state residence last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot get into the nature of her specific allegations at this time obviously. We are in the very infant stages of this investigation,\u201d Apple explained. \u201cWe have a lot of fact-finding to do, we have interviews to conduct and it would be totally premature to comment on any of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">08\/07\/2021 I will hold a brief press conference regarding the ACSO taking a compliant containing allegations against the Governor.  No reports will be released and details will be limited.  Please understand this is an active investigation.  Location 16 Eagle st. Albany 12pm.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Craig D Apple (@CraigDApplesr) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CraigDApplesr\/status\/1423779078725832707?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to authorities, the Democrat governor could be arrested and face misdemeanor charges if it was determined a crime has been committed. The sheriff said his office has requested investigative material from the state attorney general\u2019s office as well as Cuomo\u2019s lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>Following multiple investigations, which have stemmed from several allegations, the governor has denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo went on to say, \u201cI want you to know directly from me that I never touched anyone inappropriately or made any inappropriate sexual advances.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If there was ever a time for a politician to resign as they have become a \u201cdistraction from the people\u2019s work,\u201d then this is it. I can\u2019t even gas up my car without multiple people asking me when we\u2019re going to be holding <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NYGovCuomo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NYGovCuomo<\/a> accountable!

However, Cuomo and his lawyer have both maintained the allegations to be false.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this point, I\u2019m very comfortable and safe saying that she is, in fact, a victim,\u201d Apple stated. \u201cAgain, I commend all of them for coming forward. This is a very tough time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Albany County authorities have yet to provide an estimate on how long the investigation could take. Meanwhile, the state\u2019s Assembly\u2019s Judiciary committee is expected to meet regarding impeachment proceedings in nearly two thirds of the legislative body said they will favor if the governor does not resign.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/calif-issues-state-public-health-order-directing-all-health-care-workers-be-vaccinated-by-sept-30\/\">Calif.
