Cuomo Ordered to Forfeit $5.1 Million in Book Earnings

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) “was ordered to turn over roughly $5.1 million in proceeds from his 2020 pandemic memoir within 30 days, after a state ethics board found that he had run afoul of state ethics laws,” the New York Times reports.

“The order, which is sure to set up a protracted legal fight, could be complicated by the fact that Mr. Cuomo already donated $500,000 of the book’s proceeds to charity, and placed another $1 million in a trust for his daughters.”
