A 165-page report by the New York attorney general has found that the governor behaved in abusive, harassing, and illegal ways towards women

We find all 11 women to be credible," said Ann L Clark, at a press conference on Tuesday. Clark, an employment attorney, is one of the independent lawyers brought on to conduct New York attorney general Letitia James' investigation into sexual harassment claims against governor Andrew Cuomo. Her statement was made as part of the release of a 165-page report by the attorney general's office, a fact-finding investigation that determined that the governor had behaved in abusive, harassing, and illegal ways towards women subordinates. The report corroborated accounts from almost a dozen women, including nine current and former employees of the governor's office, one state trooper, and one employee of the energy utility National Grid. The report found that Cuomo not only personally sexually harassed women, but that he created a hostile work environment, and used his office in an attempt to silence and punish his accusers, all of which violate both federal and New York State civil rights laws. The report is the product of a months-long investigation, which included interviews with 179 people, review of 74,000 documents, and 11 hours of sworn testimony from Cuomo himself.
