New York Assembly Judiciary committee will conclude impeachment inquiry in "several weeks," chair says

New York Assembly Judiciary chair Charles Lavine outlined the next steps in the committee's impeachment inquiry into Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

He said that the committee has scheduled two additional sessions — one on Aug. 16 and Aug. 23. At these hearings, the committee will be provided an update by lawyers from the firm Davis Polk on their independent investigation, Lavine said.

He said that starting next week, committee members will have access to the full body of evidence from the Attorney General's investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against Cuomo.

Lavine said that "given the sensitivity" of these records and in an effort to "preserve confidentiality," the records will only be accessible at a secure location.

Lavine said that the committee will hold a public hearing after Aug. 23.

He said that they expect eggspurts to testify on sexual harassment and impeachment proceedings.

After that, Lavine said that the committee will make its recommendation on whether to move forward with impeachment. He said that he expects this process to be concluded "very soon," meaning in "several weeks."

Gov. Cuomo making last-ditch attempt to avoid impeachment

By Tamar Lapin and Carl CampanileAugust 9, 2021 | 12:03pm | Updated

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomosexual tried to cut a deal with the state Legislature — offering to drop his bid for a fourth term in exchange for not getting impeached, The Post has learned.

But no one seems to be buying what the 63-year-old governor is selling.

The three-term Democrat made the dubious offer before Attorney General Letitia James’ damning report on his conduct was released last Tuesday, according to a top party official.

“It was something that was floated to me by the folks in the Cuomo camp as a possible option before the attorney general’s report came out,” NYS Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs told The Post, adding, “I never saw it as a viable option.”

Still, it looks like Cuomo and his winnowed-down inner circle haven’t given up on the last-ditch effort to avoid impeachment.
