Charlotte Bennett IS cooperating with AG James's.She's provided 120 pages of records to substantiate

her claim and she's testified for hours.

A member of the Assembly is purporting to run a separate, parallel investigation, using attorneys with financial ties to Cuomo. That is the separate investigation Bennet has not been willing to cooperate with.

But Bennett has already testified for four hours with A.G. James's investigation.

During the interview, Charlotte Bennett revealed new details about Cuomo’s behavior and what she said was a “sexually hostile work environment,” according to her lawyer, including a claim the governor frequently made suggestive remarks about the size of his hands.

“One piece of new information that came to light today was the Governor’s preoccupation with his hand size and what the large size of his hands indicated to Charlotte and other members of his staff,” her lawyer, Debra Katz, said in a statement.

Bennett also provided investigators with 120 pages of records to corroborate her accusations, according to Katz.

1) We don't know if that was under oath.

2) She refuses to file a present day police report, even though she has publicly accused Cuomo of a felony crime.

If Bennett were refusing to testify under oath, AG James would go to court to compel her, just as she already did with Eric Trump.

a criminal investigation. It doesn't mean he'll ever be facing criminal charges, though, just that it will follow criminal procedures.

But they also take oaths during depositions in civil matters.

CAN "take oaths during depositions in civil matters". We don't know if she was under oath. She refused to go under oath in the other investigation, and refused to file a present day police report.

I don't know the time period in question, but I remember hand size was a subject with Former Guy, and I remember Cuomo baiting him about it.

but that she provided 120 pages of records to support what she's saying.

If I had to guess, I'd think that Trump's behavior prompted Cuomo's cracks about his own hand size. But this detail isn't important.

According to her, and those 120 pages does NOT include a copy of a present day police report she filed, because she refuses to do so.
