BREAKING NEWS – Albany, New York – Governor Cuomo’s former aide, Charlotte Bennett, met with outside investigators for more than four hours as part of New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation into the sexual harassment allegations. Bennett provided “more than 120 pages of contemporaneous records” as well as “other examples of documentary evidence,” according to her attorney, Debra Katz.
“We remain confident that their investigation will substantiate Charlotte’s claims of sexual harassment against Gov. Cuomo, as well as the failure of his senior staff to meet their mandatory reporting requirements under the very laws he signed,” Katz said in a statement. “She also provided detailed information about the sexually hostile work environment the Governor fostered in both his Manhattan and Albany offices and his deliberate effort to create rivalries and tension among female staffers on whom he bestowed attention.”
Cuomo in a statement through his attorney. “Yes, I admit I often created rivalries and tension among female staffers on whom I bestowed attention. But I did not to tell them to get into a catfight on the workroom floor which usually involved scratching and hair being yanked out. The video tape of those brawls will clearly show that I just sat on the sideline and cheered both of them on, without any bias.”
