“#NY State Assembly’s Cuomo probe will have ‘wide latitude’<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The state Assembly\u2019s probe of Gov. Andrew Cuomo as a prelude to possible impeachment proceedings will have \u201cwide latitude\u201d to investigate beyond allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct, a source told The Post Sunday.<\/p>\n

The probe, headed by the Assembly\u2019s Judiciary Committee, could also eye the Cuomo administration\u2019s accounting of the coronavirus death toll in nursing homes, safety concerns surrounding the Mario Cuomo Bridge \u2014 named for the current governor\u2019s late father, also a three-term governor \u2014 and other scandals, an insider familiar with the investigation said.<\/p>\n

The committee will look to hire outside counsel with experience in both criminal and employment law to spearhead the investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need people who have time to investigate and research the law,\u201d said Assemblyman Tom Abinanti (D-Nanuet), a member of the judiciary panel, noting that the Assembly already has a full plate, including working to hammer out a new state budget by April 1.<\/p>\n

Abinanti is among the dozens of Democratic lawmakers who have called on Cuomo to resign, but said he has an open mind on impeachment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor has asked for due process and we will give him due process,\u201d Abinanti said.<\/p>\n

While apologizing for making improper workplace comments, Cuomo has strongly denied touching anyone inapp<\/a>ropriately, and steadfastly refused calls for his resignation.<\/p>\n

He has urged New Yorkers to wait for the completion of independent investigations into the allegations before forming their conclusions.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Assembly probe, Cuomo faces an independent inquiry headed by state Attorney General<\/a> Letitia James, who has hired a team including former top federal prosecutor Joon Kim.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
