CNN anchor Chris Cuomo conceded in March 2021 that he could not, ethically, cover the sexual harassment allegations against his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The family ties were simply too strong for him to do so independently.

State Attorney General Letitia James dropped out of the race for governor on Thursday and said she’ll instead seek a second term as New York’s chief law-enforcement official.

“I have come to the conclusion that I must continue my work as attorney general,” James said in a prepared statement.

“There are a number of important investigations and cases that are underway, and I intend to finish the job. I am running for re-election to complete the work New Yorkers elected me to do.”

“CNN fired anchor Chris Cuomo on Saturday less than a week after new information emerged about how he assisted his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as the politician faced sexual harassment allegations earlier this year… Even with the firing, CNN said it will continue to investigate Cuomo’s conduct ‘as appropriate.’” (AP News)

“CNN's actions came just a day after a prominent Washington, D.C., workplace attorney arranged to share materials supporting accusations by a former colleague of Cuomo at ABC News that he had sexually harassed her there.” (NPR)

How is the media’s reporting, born of the incestuous relationship between leftist media and government partisans, any less troubling than the help Chris Cuomo provided his brother?

On Saturday, CNN announced it had fired Chris Cuomo due to new information concerning the assistance the former host of “Cuomo Prime Time” provided his brother, Andrew Cuomo, as the latter fought charges of sexual harassment. Chris Cuomo’s sin seems venial, however, when compared to the malfeasance of his journalist compatriots in corporate media. Let’s compare.

When all is said and done, the major takeaway from Chris Cuomo’s suspension by CNN is less about the fact of it happening than it is about the many, patently obvious ethical barriers that had to be transgressed before it finally did.

For the first time, the public is hearing the testimony of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. It comes in stark contrast to the testimony of his accusers. And new information reveals CNN anchor Chris Cuomo played a bigger role in advising his brother and hunting down details about the accusations to pass along to him.

On Monday, the New York Attorney General released nearly nine hours of video testimony, recorded this summer as part of an investigation that found Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women. 

A lengthy investigation into a variety of allegations against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has found "overwhelming evidence" that Cuomo "engaged in sexual harassment."

The investigation, which was authorized by the New York State Assembly Judiciary Committee, also concluded Cuomo's staff devoted state resources to the production of his 2020 memoir and "substantially revised" state COVID-19 reports "to combat criticisms" of Cuomo's handling of nursing homes battling the pandemic.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in an interview over the summer he "wouldn’t be surprised" if somebody who worked for him at some point sat on his lap.

"I don't recall anyone specifically. But, you know, I have people who have worked with me 14 years, 10 years," Cuomo said, according to a newly released transcript of a July interview with attorneys deputized by the New York Attorney General to investigate claims of sexual harassment. "If somebody were to sit on my lap, you know, I wouldn’t push them off."

A summons charging former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo with misdemeanor forcible touching was prematurely issued by Albany City Court on Thursday after a sheriff's investigator filed paperwork with the court summarizing their investigation and seeking to begin the process of obtaining a criminal complaint.

A criminal complaint accusing former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of forcible touching has been filed in Albany City Court, a spokesman for New York State’s court system said on Thursday.

“A misdemeanor complaint was filed in Albany City Court against the former governor this afternoon,” said the spokesman, Lucian Chalfen.
