New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called for an investigation into claims of sexual harassment made against Gov. Andrew Cuomo by staffer Lindsey Boylan.

“These allegations are really disturbing. Let’s be clear about that—they’re really disturbing. We have to, as New Yorkers, we got to take this seriously. When a woman comes forward with this kind of very specific allegations, they have to be taken serious. We need a full and independent investigation,“ de Blasio said on Feb. 25. ”This is just unacceptable. This kind of behavior, if true, is unacceptable, in any public servant, in anybody.”
