Andrew Cuomo is staking his political fate on the outcome of a pair of independent investigations into allegations he sexually harassed or behaved inappropriately toward several women. "Given the ongoing review by the State Attorney General, we cannot comment further at this time." The attorney general's office declined to comment when asked about Cuomo's office making available executive chamber attorneys to staff members. "Cleaning up corruption is never easy, and that is certainly true for corruption in New York State government," Kim said in the aftermath. New York State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, during a press conference on Wednesday, said his choices had been well-vetted and that "we didn't find any conflict."
