Update: The New York State Assembly said Thursday will start an impeachment investigation into embattled New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over a half dozen reports of alleged sexual harassment and a controversy over nursing home deaths.
The Democratic-controlled Assembly said its judiciary committee will be given broad authority to investigate the allegations of inappropriate behavior – the latest, revealed yesterday, was referred by a state official to the Albany police. “The reports of accusations concerning the governor are serious,” the said Assembly speaker Carl Heastie. He has indicated that he wouldn’t not move ahead with an actual impeachment without the support of a majority of his Democratic conference.
Earlier Thursday, 59 Democrats in the State Legislature, including the Senate, issued a statement demanding Cuomo’s immediate resignation.
