A New York ethics board ordered former Gov. Andrew Cuomo to return the proceeds he received for a book about leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The state Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) voted 12 to 1 Tuesday on a resolution that mandates Cuomo, a Democrat, to hand over the profits he made from the book “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,” to New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office.
