The U.S. Justice Department has reached a settlement with the state of New York to resolve a sexual harassment investigation of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The agreement reached Friday confirms allegations from the misconduct probe that led to the Democrat’s resignation. It details reforms made after Cuomo left office, with more steps the state will take to change how it handles sexual harassment claims.

Cuomo’s case questions the constitutionality of the Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government, a panel formed to replace the Joint Commission on Public Ethics last year.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled for a onetime top aide to ex-Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York and for others who were convicted of corruption related to an economic development project known as the "Buffalo Billion.”

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is suing the Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government, arguing the panel violates portions of the state constitution after it brought enforcement action initially started by its predecessor.

Government reform groups are asking the state Board of Elections to open an investigation into disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s spending of campaign funds, which he is using to run ads defending his reputation.

A city court judge in Albany has dismissed a charge of forcibly touching a former staffer against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo after the Albany County district attorney declined to prosecute, citing a lack of evidence to meet the burden of proof at a trial.

The Assembly report finds that Cuomo oversaw a toxic workplace where he sexually harassed multiple women, and that he used staff to write and edit a $5 million memoir at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have been advised by Chair Lavine — with the assistance of counsel - of the belief that the constitution does not authorize the legislature to impeach and remove an elected official who is no longer in office.”

"I'm certain that we would be open to it if that's their decision."

"I think that given the circumstances the best way I can help now is if I step side and let government get back to government."
