New York Governor Andrew Cuomo described the women who shared their stories of physical abuse by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman as “especially courageous.” The governor also emphasized that the women “should have their day in court.”
On Tuesday, Gov. Cuomo said, “They should have the opportunity to tell a district attorney the facts and circumstances. And then, let the district attorney or district attorneys make a decision whether there’s any criminal liability.”
Gov. Cuomo says revelations about Schneiderman were “shocking and disturbing”
Additionally, Gov. Cuomo said, the allegations against Schneiderman were “shocking and disturbing. He reiterated that “no one is above the law” in the State of New York.
“The revelations about Attorney General Eric Schneiderman were shocking, disturbing. In a political environment where almost nothing seems surprising anymore from the federal level all the way and down, and having been callused by everything that’s going on in Washington, et cetera. Despite all that, this was still deeply shocking and deeply disturbing,” said Gov. Cuomo.
