In response to the latest claims against the governor, Cuomo issued a statement to the newspaper that read, “As I said yesterday, I have never done anything like this. The details of this report are gut-wrenching.”
“I am not going to speak to the specifics of this or any other allegation given the ongoing review, but I am confident in the result of the attorney general’s report,” the statement added.
The woman’s claim comes in the wake of other accusations made against the governor for inappropriate sexual behavior.
