"The 165-page report said that Mr. Cuomo, a third-term Democrat, and his aides cultivated a toxic work environment in his office that was rife with fear and intimidation, and helped enable “harassment to occur and created a hostile work environment," reported the New York Times. 

"The findings of the report could fuel support for impeachment proceedings against Mr. Cuomo in the State Legislature, which Democrats overwhelmingly control, lead to additional calls for his resignation and influence public opinion as he considers running for a fourth term," the NYT continued.

"Outside lawyers hired by the Assembly’s judiciary committee are currently looking at not only the sexual harassment claims, but a series of scandals with a common theme: whether or not Mr. Cuomo abused his power while in office."

Cuomo Responds

In Rhode Island, General Treasurer Seth Magaziner called for Cuomo's resignation.“Women deserve to work in an environment free of harassment, and leaders of integrity must strive to build a workplace where everyone is respected and safe. Governor Cuomo has clearly violated that standard; I join President Biden and others in calling for his resignation."
