In a Saturday tweet, Cuomo reproduced a letter sent from his attorney Rita Glavin and addressed Sheriff Craig Apple — demanding Apple “preserve all records” from the investigation, which led to the misdemeanor criminal complaint filed this week.
Glavin outlined records to be kept, including correspondence with Brittany Commisso, the former Executive Assistant who claims Cuomo groped her in the Executive Mansion.

The lawyer is additionally seeking correspondence from Commisso’s estranged husband Frank Commisso, Jr., as well as his father, a former Albany County Democratic Majority Leader, and all records of correspondence with the press.

“They’re bullies,” exclaimed Apple in an interview with The Post Saturday. “But we expected this,” he insisted.
Cuomo was charged Thursday with a misdemeanor sex-crime complaint alleging he forcibly touched a woman last December. The complaint came two months after the former Governor resigned in disgrace following accusations of sexual harassment by nearly a dozen women against him, detailed in a report issued by State Attorney General Letitia James. Apple’s investigator signed the criminal complaint against Cuomo.

Cuomo, 63, is accused of “forcibly” shoving his hand under Commisso’s blouse and grabbing her in a Dec. 7 incident. Although the name of the alleged victim was redacted, a lawyer for Brittany Commisso confirmed her identity.
A summons has been allotted to Cuomo to appear in Albany City Court on Nov. 17, according to the Albany County Sheriff’s Office and the Albany County District Attorney’s Office.
“If he doesn’t show up the stakes will be raised,” Apple declared. “They’re bullies. They keep doing what they do, and we’re going to continue to move forward with our investigation. People can see through that smoke screen. We’ve tried to keep this from being a circus but they’ve turned it into a circus.”

The alleged evidence against Cuomo includes a text message from Cuomo’s cellphone, state police aviation records for Dec. 7, and news reports of a press conference that day, state police BlackBerry PIN messages, swipe card records from the state Capitol, and Commisso’s testimony to the Attorney General’s Office.

“What occurred here was a clear abuse of power by Sheriff Apple and we plan to get to the bottom of it,” said Cuomo’s spokesman Richard Azzopardi in a comment tweeted by the former governor on his Twitter page.
“The Governor has been unequivocal in denying these allegations since Day 1 and neither Sheriff Apple, Tish James, nor any Albany politician have evidence proving otherwise,” spokesman Rich Azzopardi demanded in a statement Saturday. “To be clear: there is no corroborating evidence of the claim made against the Governor because it did not happen.
