Cuomo responded swiftly to the complaints in a pre-recorded video message, denying the results of the report, and chalking up the accusations of inappropriate comments to generational differences.

I kiss people on the forehead. I kiss people on the hand. I do, on occasion, slip and say sweetheart and hunny . I try to put people at ease. I try to make people smile.

NEW YORK (AP) An investigation found that Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women in and out of state government and worked to retaliate against one of his accusers, New York s attorney general announced Tuesday in a finding that quickly renewed calls for the Democrat s resignation or impeachment.
Cuomo remained defiant Tuesday following the investigation s findings, saying that the facts are much different than what has been portrayed and appearing to reject calls to resign.
The nearly five-month investigation found that Cuomo s administration was a hostile work environment and was rife with fear and intimidation. The probe, conducted by two outside lawyers, involved interviews with 179 people including Cuomo s accusers, current and former administration employees and the governor himself.
