US President Joe Biden has called on Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign Tuesday, following an official report that said Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women.
“He should resign,” Biden told reporters at the White House.
Asked whether Cuomo should be removed from office if he refuses to resign, Biden said, “I understand the state legislature may decide to impeach, I do not know that for a fact.”
The report released Tuesday by state Attorney General Letitia James summarized a months long probe by concluding that Cuomo “sexually harassed multiple women, and in doing so violated federal and state law,”
Cuomo strongly denied some of those allegations later on Tuesday and said that other examples of his alleged misconduct had been mischaracterized or misinterpreted.
The women Cuomo is accused of harassing include members of his own staff, members of the public and other state employees, one of whom was a state trooper, the report found.
