A fifth New York district attorney is now asking for information in connection with the Attorney General’s investigation of Governor Andrew Cuomo. It comes as the governor’s first accuser says she’s planning to file a civil suit against him.
Former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan was the first to accuse the governor.
Now her attorney is speaking out, saying they are not waiting for the assembly or district attorneys across New York to take action.
They are going after the governor in civil court.
“Our plan is to sue the governor and his and his coconspirators,” said Jill Basinger. “One of the things that bothers me the most about this is how many people worked in concert with the governor in order to discredit Lindsey without knowing the truth – even though people had suspicions, and people knew how hard the governor’s office was. But everyone immediately came out against her and did everything they could to discredit this very brave woman.”
The district attorney from Oswego County is now joining those from Albany, Manhattan, Nassau, Suffolk counties in requesting information from the Attorney General’s Office regarding allegations against the governor – and asking for the victims to come forward.
We did not hear from Cuomo himself Wednesday, but we certainly heard from many others in the Democratic Party.
State Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs, one of the governor’s closest allies, is now calling on him to resign.
