Investigation New York Gov. Cuomo sexual harassment allegations

New York Attorney General Letitia James appointed independent legal experts to lead a thorough investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against Governor Andrew Cuomo.

On Monday, AG James said Joon H. Kim, a former Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), and Anne L. Clark, an employment discrimination attorney will be leading the inquiry into the alleged inappropriate behaviors by the Democratic governor.

Attorneys Jennifer Kennedy Park, Abena Mainoo, and Yannick Grant will help Kim and Clark in conducting an independent and thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the sexual harassment accusations against Gov. Cuomo. They will also review that how his administration handled such complaints.

The investigation aims to provide answers to New Yorkers

In a , AG James said Kim and Clark are "independent legal experts who have decades of experience conducting investigations and fighting to uphold the rule of law. There is no question that they both have the knowledge and background necessary to lead this investigation and provide New Yorkers with the answers they deserve.”

As part of the investigation, Kim and Clark's team will issue subpoena and related compliance and examine relevant documents and records. The team will also conduct interviews including formal depositions.

The team will report weekly about the progress of their investigation to the Office of the Attorney. Upon the conclusion of the probe, the team will submit a written report regarding their findings. The Attorney General will make the report available to the general public.

Five women accused Gov. Cuomo of sexual harassment

The governor's office requested AG James' office to appoint a legal expert to conduct an independent investigation into sexual harassment accusations by five women.

Ana Liss, a former policy and operations aide to Gov. Cuomo, claimed that he called her sweetheart, touched her on her lower back during a reception, and inquired if she had a boyfriend. She also claimed that the governor once kissed her hand.

Liss told the Wall Street Journal that she initially considered Gov. Cuomo's unsolicited actions as harmless flirtations. However, her perception regarding the Governor's actions changed over time as she felt diminished.

Karen Hinton alleged that Gov. Cuomo sexually harrassed her in 2000 when he was the head of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Hinton told The Washington Post that after an event that year, he invited her into his hotel room and embraced her. She pulled away from him but he pulled her back towards his body. She pulled away again and left the hotel room.
