“#Top Cuomo officials subpoenaed in harassment investigation<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Dozens of Albany officials\u2013 including top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa \u2014 have been subpoenaed by the state Attorney General<\/a>\u2019s Office as part of its investigation into sexual-harassment accusations against the governor, a report said Friday.<\/p>\n

The officials are being asked to produce documents related to the investigation, which is also probing DeRosa\u2019s role according to The Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ex-aide Ana Liss, who has accused Cuomo of inapp<\/a>ropriate conduct, said investigators questioned her about DeRosa\u2019s behavior as communications director in 2014 in Albany, the news<\/a>paper said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were trying to figure out if I was targeted by Melissa,\u201d Liss told the paper, adding that she told probers she didn\u2019t interact much with DeRosa at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one should be surprised that the AG\u2019s office is issuing requests for documents and interviewing witnesses, including many who work for the governor,\u201d Paul Fishman, a lawyer for the Cuomo administration told the paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat happens in every investigation, and it\u2019s wildly premature to speculate what it means. Good, thorough and fair investigations take time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuomo has been accused of workplace harassment by at least seven women. He\u2019s denied any inappropriate touching, and apologized to anyone he made uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

The three-term governor has said he won\u2019t resign, even as top lawmakers in Albany and Washington call for his ouster.<\/p>\n

After her daily appearances by Cuomo\u2019s side at his COVID-19 updates, DeRosa was thrust under the microscope after her private apology to Democratic lawmakers for\u00a0withholding the state\u2019s nursing home death toll was revealed by The Post.<\/p>\n

She has stood by her longtime boss amid the accusations of inappropriate behavior, as accusations of her own bullying and berating behavior in the workplace came to light. <\/p>\n

DeRosa and other aides contacted staff members to ask them about Lindsey Boylan, after the former official made the first allegations against the governor, the Journal has reported. <\/p>\n

Liss has said she was on the receiving end of one of those calls from senior advisor Rich Azzopardi, and reportedly told investigators she viewed it as a form of intimidation.<\/p>\n

Azzopardi said the call was not meant to intimidate, according to the paper. Cuomo denied Boylan\u2019s accusations.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
