Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is suing to compel the state to foot some of his legal bills.

In a complaint filed June 11 at a state court, the former Democrat governor argued that New York should cover expenses related to collecting evidence to defend himself in two federal lawsuits, both involving former state employees accusing him of sexual misconduct.
