Impeachment Inquiry Against Cuomo Will End Soon: Top Lawmaker

NEW YORK CITY — An impeachment investigation against Gov. Andrew Cuomo will conclude "as quickly as possible" after an investigation found he sexually harassed 11 women, said the state Assembly's top lawmaker.

Speaker Carl Heastie said in a statement Tuesday that Cuomo "lost the confidence of the Assembly Democratic majority and that he can no longer remain in office."

"Once we receive all relevant documents and evidence from the Attorney General, we will move expeditiously and look to conclude our impeachment investigation as quickly as possible," Heastie said.

The speaker's statement came after the bombshell sexual harassment accusations detailed in a 165-page report released by Attorney General Letitia James and growing calls for Cuomo to resign.

President Joe Biden joined a near-deafening chorus of calls for Cuomo's resignation.

“I think he should resign,” Biden told reporters.

The state Assembly has an ongoing impeachment inquiry into Cuomo. Lawmakers hired their own legal team to investigate accusations against Cuomo regarding harassment, his book, nursing homes and special access to COVID-19 testing as part of the inquiry, the Associate Press reported.

Cuomo denied the accusations in a pre-taped video and a report released by his own legal team.
