Cuomo Could Be Compelled to Testify In Probe

March 2, 2021 at 2:07 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“When a team of outside investigators begins to examine sexual harassment allegations lodged against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, its scope may be far broader than first anticipated,” the New York Times reports.

“The team, which will be hired by Letitia James, the New York State attorney general, will have far-reaching subpoena powers to request troves of documents and compel witnesses, including the governor, to testify under oath.”

Insider: Impeachment is “almost unprecedented” in New York, but calls for Cuomo to resign are growing among Democrats.
