When she sought another job in state government in 2019, she was told that the governor’s fondness for working with her would interfere with her taking the new position. She was told, she recalled, that “because I ‘help out up front,’ I couldn’t leave.”Since other allegations against Mr. Cuomo have arisen, Ms. McGrath has continued to go to work. “And I have no doubt in my mind that all of these accusers are telling the truth.”One of those accusers is her co-worker. Ms. McGrath said she feared retaliation for speaking out, but she and her co-worker had grown upset with themselves for putting up with Mr. Cuomo’s behavior for so long. “Her and I discussed this after the fact and now we’re like, ‘How did we not see this?’” Ms. McGrath said, still bewildered by her interactions with Mr. Cuomo.
