An investigation has found that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed nearly a dozen women in and out of state government. It further stated that Cuomo also worked to retaliate against one of his accusers. The report has intensified calls for the Democrat's resignation or impeachment.

President Joe Biden was among those who said Cuomo should resign.

The governor, however, remained defiant, saying that “the facts are much different than what has been portrayed" and that he “never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances.”

The nearly five-month investigation concluded that 11 women who said that Cuomo had touched them inappropriately, commented on their appearance or made suggestive comments about their sex lives were telling the truth.

Those accusers included an aide who said Cuomo groped her at the governor's mansion and a state trooper on his security detail, who said he ran his hand or fingers across her stomach and her back.
