President Joe Biden has expressed his opinions involving the investigation surrounding Governor Andrew Cuomo. In an exclusive interview with ABC News George Stephanopoulos, President Biden said that Cuomo should resign if an investigation confirms claims he committed sexual harassment.
“We have zero tolerance for the behavior that is alleged against the governor, and again, I think he is a supporter of zero tolerance in terms of sexual harassment,” Pelosi said in response to a direct question about whether he should resign.
“So it would follow that if you have zero tolerance, that would be a decision that we hope the governor would make,” she added.

LAGRANGEVILLE, Dutchess County (WABC) The only water that runs through Dutchess County is the Hudson River, known for Northern Pike, Atlantic Sturgeon, even the odd whale but not sharks. So authorities became curious when they learned a Dutchess County man was selling sharks online.
It turned out Joshua Seguine had been keeping live sharks in a pool at his home and offering them for sale on the internet.
Seguine, 40, was convicted Wednesday in the Town of LaGrange Justice Court of illegal trafficking and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine. The tide has turned for Joshua Seguine, who was convicted and held accountable for his unlawful acts, New York Attorney General Letitia James said. We will not tolerate anyone who preys on protected species to line their pockets.
