New York Governor Andrew Cuomo speaks during a press conference before the opening of a mass Covid-19 vaccination site in the Queens borough of New York. New York's two US senators, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, both said an independent investigation was essential. James fuelled some of that criticism by issuing a report that raised questions about whether the Cuomo administration had undercounted deaths. "Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett's detailed accounts of sexual harassment by Governor Cuomo are extremely serious and painful to read," US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter on Sunday. "There must be an independent investigation - not one led by an individual selected by the Governor, but by the office of the Attorney General."
