“Throughout the impeachment investigation, I have repeatedly called on Governor Cuomo to resign so that my colleagues and I in the State Legislature can continue to govern despite the controversies surrounding him. I do personally wish that the impeachment investigation would continue.

“Be assured that this is not the end of all investigations into Governor Cuomo’s conduct- the Attorney General, the United States Attorney, and local law enforcement authorities in five jurisdictions are still investigating him and will continue to do so. All materials from the Assembly’s impeachment investigation will be turned over to the proper authorities to ensure that Governor Cuomo is held accountable. It has been determined that it is unconstitutional to impeach an elected official who is no longer in office.”
