A New York State Well being Division lawyer was caught on undercover video claiming former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo was “pressured” into signing a nursing house reform invoice after sexual misconduct allegations.
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was found to have sexually harassed a number of girls, AG Letitia James introduced in August 2021 after a 4-month investigation into the accusations.
Based on NY AG Letitia James, Cuomo violated state and federal legislation.
James mentioned Cuomo harassed present and former state workers and created a hostile work setting.
Cuomo resigned in shame on August 10, 2021, amid a number of prison investigations into his sexual misconduct.
New York State Well being Division lawyer Jacob Wilkinson mentioned Cuomo was “pressured” into signing a nursing house legislation amid the sexual misconduct allegations.
“When Cuomo was getting that investigation, he didn’t have plenty of political energy,” Jacob Wilkinson mentioned to the OMG journalist. “His political energy went down, proper? And so, he was pushed to signal this group of laws,”
“Among the allegations are 100% pretend,” Wilkinson mentioned. “These ladies who had been, like, within the allegations, had been sitting on his lap taking selfies with him at occasions.”
When requested whether or not Cuomo had been blackmailed, Wilkinson responded, “He type of was. He apparently didn’t give them what they needed. That’s why they uncovered him.”
Wilkinson informed the OMG journalist that the Nurses Affiliation wrote the nursing house reform invoice.
