NY Assembly probe will now look into questions over Andrew Cuomo's reported $4M book deal

USA Today

ALBANY, N.Y. - Add questions about Gov. Andrew Cuomo's lucrative book deal to the growing list of issues that will be investigated in a sweeping probe by the Assembly Judiciary Committee into myriad allegations against the embattled governor.

Assemblyman Charles Lavine, the committee's chairman, said Wednesday night his panel would look into ongoing questions about the book Cuomo wrote and the $4 million The New York Times reported he may have received for it and use of government staff to help him prepare it.

"While the Assembly investigation will look into those allegations, the Judiciary Committee's primary focus remains investigation into issues related to sexual harassment, the nursing homes and bridge safety," Lavine, D-Nassau County, said in an email to the USA TODAY Network New York.

The committee's probe is looking into whether sexual harassment allegations against the governor, underreporting of COVID-19 nursing home deaths and questions about the safety of the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge in the Hudson Valley rises to the level of an impeachment vote in the Assembly.
