New York’s former creep-in-chief Andrew Cuomo lives up to the billing of his sex accusers in a scathing new tome by his female former press secretary.

Well before Cuomo became known as an accused serial sex harasser, there was little he apparently considered taboo when it came to talking to his staff — spewing jokes about AIDS, lurid sex and even the seamy shenanigans of his then-in-laws the Kennedys, according to “Penis Politics,” an upcoming memoir by ex-aide Karen Hinton. . .

Hinton — who has previously accused an “aroused’’ Cuomo of inappropriately hugging her in a hotel room — said the ex-gov had no problem joking about AIDS when laughing over the infamous cigar-sex incident between then-President Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky in 1998.

She said Clinton had once given the cigar-chomping Cuomo a box of illegal expensive Cuban smokes along with a note that said, ‘’Don’t ask . . . Don’t tell,’’ a nod to the president’s policy regarding gays in the military.

Hinton — Cuomo’s press secretary when he ran Clinton’s Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1997 — said her boss laughed about it in front of her and other staffers when news of the president’s cigar sex surfaced.

The New York State Assembly is suspending its impeachment investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) after he announced on Tuesday that he will resign over allegations of sexual harassment and abuse.

Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D) said in a statement that he believes the Judiciary Committee’s investigation would have resulted in articles of impeachment after uncovering evidence to support the allegations but that the governor’s resignation, set to take effect on Aug. 25, made the inquiry moot.

“There are two reasons for this decision. First, the purpose of the Judiciary Committee’s impeachment investigation was to determine whether Governor Cuomo should remain in office. The governor’s resignation answers that directive,” he said. “Second, we have been advised by [Judiciary Committee] Chair [Charles] Lavine … of the belief that the constitution does not authorize the legislature to impeach and remove an elected official who is no longer in office.”

“Let me be clear — the committee’s work over the last several months, although not complete, did uncover credible evidence in relation to allegations that have been made in reference to the governor,” he added.

The state Assembly plans to wrap up its impeachment investigation of Gov. Andrew Cuomo “with all due haste” in the wake of last week’s explosive sexual harassment report, Speaker Carl Heastie said Monday.

“No one should have to endure the type of behavior detailed in the attorney general’s report,” Heastie (D-Bronx) said during a news conference in Albany.

“Future generations will look to us and how we conduct ourselves in this moment.”

Heastie said Attorney General Letitia James had provided the Judiciary Committee with “a lot” of the evidence it amassed against the three-term Democrat but still has more to deliver.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Lavine (D-Nassau) also said a wide-ranging investigation by the committee’s outside lawyers was continuing into other allegations against Cuomo, including whether he improperly used state resources to write his memoir, “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic.” (Read more from ” State Assembly Calls for Quick Impeachment Probe, Says ‘No One Should Have to Endure’ Alleged Cuomo Behavior” HERE)

By New York Post. The independent probe into New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo found that he sexually harassed multiple women, both in and out of state government.

Investigators focused on the allegations of 11 women, detailed in a blistering 165-page report released Tuesday by the state attorney general’s office. . .

[Lindsey] Boylan, 36, was the first former Cuomo aide to come forward last year, writing in an essay on Medium that the governor had harassed her multiple times between 2016 and 2018, when she worked as a state economic development official. . .

[Charlotte] Bennett, a 25-year-old former aide to Cuomo, told The New York Times in February that the governor asked her inappropriate personal questions, told her he was open to relationships with women in their 20s, and left her feeling that he “wanted to sleep with me.” . . .

[Alyssa] McGrath, 35, became the first current aide to speak out about sexual harassment in the governor’s office, telling the Times in March that Cuomo looked down her shirt, quizzed her about her marital status and told her she was beautiful.

Time to Impeach CNN

By MUJAHED KOBBE. A four-month investigation into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo concluded on Tuesday with a damning report. “Specifically, we find that the Governor sexually harassed a number of current and former New York State employees by, among other things, engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching, as well as making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile work environment for women,” New York Attorney General Letitia James’ inquiry concluded.

The details of the governor’s misconduct are stomach-churning, and range from inappropriate remarks to unwanted sexual touching and kissing. He grabbed an assistant’s breast under her shirt, felt up a state trooper’s back and stomach, asked for help finding a girlfriend who “can handle pain,” told a young aide he was “lonely and wanted to be touched,” and kissed multiple employees on the lips. (Cuomo has only denied some of the accusations.)

. . . [CNN’s Chris Cuomo] also appears to have played a role in the governor’s public statements, possibly even composing some of them. An email shows him suggesting the governor downplay the allegations by saying “sometimes I am playful and make jokes” in order to add “some levity and banter to what is a very serious business.”

Do not overlook the Cuomo report appendix, which includes Charlotte Bennett's texts about her Cuomo interactions and this email from Chris Cuomo appearing to draft a statement for his brother https://t.co/uN17cZRbNJ pic.twitter.com/etUCrQbWTX

None of this was disclosed to CNN’s viewers, as the network continued to “cover” the scandal. Nor was the extent of Chris’s involvement explored when Chris finally did address what he called “inappropriate” conversations he had with his brother’s staff.

And yet, despite this massive conflict of interest, CNN is still standing by Chris Cuomo. While it’s true that Chris did not cover the scandal about his brother, his show has included fawning coverage of his brother early in the pandemic, including bantering about their mother.
