New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) announced on Tuesday that Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) sexually harassed current and former state employees, violating both federal and state law, as determined by the months-long investigation.
House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) called for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to “resign and be arrested immediately” in a Tuesday statement following an independent investigators’ report that said the governor allegedly sexually harassed multiple women.
“The independent investigation has concluded that Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and in doing so violated federal and state law,” New York Attorney General Letitia James announced.

Breitbart reported:
The findings follow months of Cuomo facing mounting allegations of sexual harassment, which he vehemently denied.
“The report can’t say anything different, because I didn’t do anything wrong,” Cuomo said in April, referring to James’ inquiry.
In February, Cuomo denied accusations of inappropriately touching anyone and said he “never propositioned anybody and I never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable.”
House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik was the first to call for Governor Cuomo’s resignation in December. In a statement on Tuesday, Stefanik said, “No one is above the law and today justice must be served. Governor Cuomo must resign and be arrested immediately.”
She also called for Joe Biden to “immediately call for Cuomo’s resignation.”
