State Attorney General Letitia James rejected a proposal from Gov. Cuomo to have her and the state’s top judge set up an independent investigation of sexual harassment allegations against him without subpoena power.
“I do not accept the governor’s proposal,” James said in a Sunday statement. “The state’s Executive Law clearly gives my office the authority to investigate this matter once the governor provides a referral.
“While I have deep respect for Chief Judge DiFiore,” she continued, “I am the duly elected attorney general and it is my responsibility to carry out this task, per Executive Law. The governor must provide this referral so an independent investigation with subpoena power can be conducted.”
