Things aren’t going as well for Democrats as they should be. Now that Donald Trump isn’t taking all the heat for every headline investigators are actually starting to take a look at Democrat crimes. Take Andrew Cuomo, for instance. The New York Attorney General’s office is diving deep into the serial sex harassment claims against the Governor.
Investigators probe powerful Democrat
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo believed he was powerful enough to be above the law. On top of that, he’s a Democrat. They’re allowed to get away with anything.
Now that yet another sexual harassment accuser has come forward, the wall of secrecy is crumbling around his ears. Investigators spent four solid hours on Monday in a Zoom conference with Charlotte Bennett and her lawyers.
During the interview, one Bennett attorney confirmed, she revealed to investigators “new details about Cuomo’s behavior” and his “sexually hostile work environment.” He didn’t grope and try to “milk” her as Lindsey Boylan claims.
Last week, the former state economic development official freaked out watching him deny his crimes during a news conference. She broke down in front of the whole office to detail how “Cuomo had harassed her on several occasions from 2016 to 2018.”
Ms. Bennett, age 25, also provided investigators with 120 pages of records that back up her story. Cuomo told reporters he “will cooperate with the investigation” then went into hiding from the press.
Boiling her four hour testimony down to the essentials, Bennett alleges that Cuomo grilled her about her sex life in a way that made it crystal clear he wanted to have sex with her. She believed her job was on the line but said no anyway. She hasn’t been emotionally the same since, she claims.
Alone in the office
Last June, Bennett told AG office investigators, she found herself alone with Governor Cuomo in his office. He started grilling her with suggestive innuendo, starting with asking if she “had ever been with an older man.” He just wouldn’t leave it alone.
She told the panel that her motivation for going public is because she wanted to counter the way Mr. Cuomo “wields his power.” At the time, she was an executive assistant and health policy adviser.
On June 5, her complaint states, Andrew Cuomo got her alone and started making moves. Investigators heard all about how he “asked her numerous questions about her personal life, including whether she thought age made a difference in romantic relationships.”
It doesn’t bother him any. “He was open to relationships with women in their 20s.” His intent was obvious to her. The comments were “interpreted as clear overtures to a sexual relationship.”
Investigators also got an earful about how the horny Governor “complained to her about being lonely during the pandemic, mentioning that he “can’t even hug anyone.” It was as obvious a ploy as the old yawn, stretch, and arm around the shoulder.
Mr. Cuomo asked her, “Who did I last hug?” He didn’t grope her but “the entire episode was unmistakable.” She’s smart enough to realize what was going on. “I understood that the governor wanted to sleep with me, and felt horribly uncomfortable and scared.” She also “assumed it was the end of my job.”
