• Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo denied knowledge of a sixth woman who has reportedly accused him of sexual misconduct.
• “I’m not aware of any other claim,” Cuomo said, adding that “no one ever told me at the time that I made them feel uncomfortable.”

Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo denied knowledge of a sixth woman who has reportedly accused him of sexual misconduct.

The sixth accuser reportedly said the governor inappropriately touched her when she was at his mansion for work last year, an official close to the matter told the Albany Times-Union Tuesday. The publication withheld her name since she could not immediately be reached for comment, but noted that she is a member of the governor’s Executive Chamber staff.
