The New York Assembly’s Judiciary Committee announced Monday it is now considering whether to impeach Gov. Andrew Cuomo following a report issued by Attorney General Letitia James’s office last week that claimed he sexually harassed female staffers.

“After the executive session today, I will present a more detailed statement on the Judiciary Committee’s contemplated schedule for completing this investigation and the next steps, including the opportunity that we will extend to the governor to provide any additional information to the Committee before it makes any final recommendations to the Assembly, he said before making a motion to go into Executive Session,” said a statement from state Rep. Charles Lavine, a Democrat who chairs the Assembly Judiciary Committee, during a livestreamed session of the hearing.
