A New York State Health Department lawyer was caught on undercover video claiming former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo was “forced” into signing a nursing home reform bill after sexual misconduct allegations.
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was found to have sexually harassed multiple women, AG Letitia James announced in August 2021 after a 4-month investigation into the accusations.
According to NY AG Letitia James, Cuomo violated state and federal law.
James said Cuomo harassed current and former state employees and created a hostile work environment.
Cuomo resigned in disgrace on August 10, 2021, amid several criminal investigations into his sexual misconduct.
New York State Health Department lawyer Jacob Wilkinson said Cuomo was “forced” into signing a nursing home law amid the sexual misconduct allegations.
“When Cuomo was getting that investigation, he didn’t have a lot of political power,” Jacob Wilkinson said to the OMG journalist. “His political power went down, right? And so, he was pushed to sign this group of legislation,”
