Statement of Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. on NYS Attorney General Report

“I have reviewed the report issued by the Office of New York State Attorney General Letitia James and concur with its findings. An investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment by Governor Andrew Cuomo was conducted by independent investigators and afforded all parties appropriate due process.

The findings of the report are clear. The harrowing details depicted in the report confirm that Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed current and former state employees and created a hostile work environment. In his response to the report, the Governor has made evident that he has no intentions of resigning. Therefore, the Assembly must move with all deliberate speed to begin impeachment proceedings.”
