Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had his book deal revoked by the state’s ethics board on Tuesday.

New York’s Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) approved a resolution (pdf) 12–1 to rescind its decision that approved Cuomo to write “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic” while he was governor during the coronavirus pandemic.
