Malliotakis: Governor Cuomo is Not Above the Law, Must Resign or be Impeached

(STATEN ISLAND, NY) - Today Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) issued the below statement following New York State Attorney General Letitia James' report finding Governor Andrew Cuomo guilty of sexually harassing multiple women and violating state law:

“The New York Attorney General's report revealed the abhorrent sexual misconduct engaged in by Governor Cuomo. This report corroborates the allegations of sexual harassment and assault made against the Governor by the women who bravely came forward to expose criminal behavior that is unworthy of the highest office in our state. I have previously called for the Governor's resignation following his mishandling of New York’s nursing homes, and today’s news is just another reason why he must go. I call upon our state's law enforcement agencies to review the Attorney General's report and file criminal charges against the Governor. No one can be above the law. I also call upon the Assembly to convene a special session and resume its impeachment proceedings. The Governor's denial of these investigated incidents shows that he thinks he is too big to fail and it is an insult to his victims. We must restore dignity to the Governor’s office.”
