Governor Cuomo is reportedly going to be questioned on Saturday over allegations that he sexually harassed current and former aides.
Allegations started in December 2020 when Lindsey Boylan accused Cuomo of harassing her for years. Boylan served as an executive vice president of Empire State Development and later as a special adviser to Cuomo for economic development from March 2015 to Oct 2018.
At least seven more women later accused Cuomo of inappropriate behavior or sexual harassment.
Lawyers hired by New York State Attorney General Letitia James are expected to grill Cuomo this weekend about the allegations, according to the New York Times. James was hired to conduct an independent investigation in the allegations against Cuomo.

On Tuesday, Gov. Cuomo signed legislation expanding New York State s definition of telemarketing to include marketing by text message. Our consumer protections need to keep pace with technology and New Yorkers who have long been plagued by the nuisance of annoying calls from telemarketers now have to contend with unwanted texts attempting to sell them things they don t want, Cuomo said. This legislation closes this annoying loophole and will help ensure our laws are modernized to confront the needs of New Yorkers.
New Yorkers have protection against unwanted robocalls under state law, but texting was not previously defined as telemarketing, exempting it from those protections. This legislation closes that loophole, officials say.
