The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James said on Feb. 28 that she rejected a proposal from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo that she and the chief judge of the state’s Court of Appeals would appoint an independent investigator to review the sexual harassment claims against the governor.
“To clarify, I do not accept the governor’s proposal,” James said in a statement. “The state’s Executive Law clearly gives my office the authority to investigate this matter once the governor provides a referral.”
