New York's attorney general is conducting an investigation into the sexual harassment allegations, which were raised in the past week by two former aides and a woman who met Cuomo at a wedding. Cuomo — who is facing mounting calls to resign — reiterated that he will fully cooperate with that investigation, and asked New Yorkers to wait for the full report before forming an opinion.

The New York Gov declared that he has no intention of leaving office, despite calls from dozens of state lawmakers who want him to either step down or face impeachment.
Democrats and Republicans alike have collectively come out against Cuomo during dual scandals involving nursing home deaths during the coronavirus pandemic and recently published allegations of sexual harassment. Despite the opposition, the governor said he will push forward with his duties.

Assemblyman Ron Kim, another Democrat, shared the hashtag #ResignCuomo while retweeting a post about Cuomo's response to the harassment allegations. Kim also criticized Cuomo for "publishing a book in the middle of the pandemic while suppressing life and death data."

Cuomo shrugged off the demands, pointing to New York's many pressing needs that he must address, including the state's budget, saying that will be able to work on the budget while cooperating with the state attorney general's investigations of the scandals.
Cuomo noted that he was able to work on a budget last year, even as the pandemic was at a high point.
"We did both, and we'll do both here," he stressed.
