Statement from Mayor de Blasio on Release of Attorney General Report

August 3, 2021

NEW YORK—Mayor Bill de Blasio today released the following statement on the release of Attorney General James’ report:

“My first thoughts are with the women who were subject to this abhorrent behavior, and their bravery in stepping forward to share their stories.

The Attorney General’s detailed and thorough report substantiates many disturbing instances of severe misconduct. Andrew Cuomo committed sexual assault and sexual harassment, and intimidated a whistleblower. It is disqualifying.

“It is beyond clear that Andrew Cuomo is not fit to hold office and can no longer serve as Governor.

He must resign, and if he continues to resist and attack the investigators who did their jobs, he should be impeached immediately.”
