Andrew Cuomo tried to cut a deal with the state Legislature \u2014 offering to drop his bid for a fourth term in exchange for not getting impeached,\u201d the Post said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The Post noted that Cuomo aides floated the idea before Attorney General Leticia James released her blockbuster report, detailing sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations from 11 women \u2014 allegations that James not only found credible but showed evidence of both state and federal crimes. James based her report on interviews with 179 witnesses and tens of thousands of pieces of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the prosecutor\u2019s office in Albany, New York, the state capital and where the incidents allegedly took place, has opened an investigation into Cuomo\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The state legislature is expected to wrap up its own inquiry, related to a potential impeachment, this week. It warned Cuomo last Thursday that he had until this coming Friday to produce exculpatory evidence.<\/p>\n<p>As for Cuomo\u2019s reported proposed deal, even Democrats seemed skeptical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was something that was floated to me by the folks in the Cuomo camp as a possible option before the attorney general\u2019s report came out,\u201d the New York Democratic chairman, Jay Jacobs, told the Post. \u201cI never saw it as a viable option.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Post added that it does appear Cuomo\u2019s aides are floating a similar deal now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA source told The City on Monday that the gov\u2019s team has been busy making calls to try to save his skin in the wake of the official report, which concluded Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women in violation of state and federal law. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing,\u201d they noted. \u201cBefore she resigned Sunday night, top aide and confidante Melissa DeRosa had been asking executive staffers for strategies to quiet the impeachment talks, the source told The City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacobs, though, told the Post that he \u201cshot down\u201d any talk of dropping the impeachment inquiry \u201cpretty quick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Cuomo \u201cpal\u201d denied the rumor to the Post, saying that the governor had no plans to run for a fourth term.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo responded to the Attorney General\u2019s report in a recorded statement released just hours after James\u2019 report dropped. In it, he suggested that the women who complained had misinterpreted his actions and that he has a habit of being overly familiar.<\/p>\n<p>He did not entertain the idea of resigning but instead offered to hire a consultant to train him \u2014 and his staff \u2014 on how to behave appropriately in an office environment.<\/p>\n<p>The efforts were not enough for the legislature, which has been pursuing its impeachment inquiry since March when news of the allegations against Cuomo first broke.<\/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.
