The New York state investigation into whether Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women is also looking at whether his top officials enabled the behavior, how the administration handled the complaints, and whether it took steps to intimidate his accusers, according to the women and their lawyers.

As part of the probe being overseen by state Attorney General Letitia James, investigators have in recent days interviewed at least three former aides to the governor, Charlotte Bennett, Lindsey Boylan and Ana Liss. The women have accused Mr. Cuomo of either sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior while they worked for the state.

They and their representatives said that in the interviews, investigators asked about Mr. Cuomo’s behavior, how complaints were handled and about subsequent actions by senior aides in the governor’s administration which some of the women say they saw as retaliation.

“We have been assured the investigation is going to look at all of the issues,” said Debra Katz, Ms. Bennett’s attorney.

1. Wonder when it concludes

Any set time period, or even a guess? A week? Month?

2. Are they under oath? Or still being advised not to be under oath?

Any more contradictory pictures or tweets? Does Liss still have the framed picture of her and Cuomo in her office..the one she is showing as proof? Or am I going to be reported again for this post because people do not want to answer these questions.

3. Interesting isn't it?

And exactly how many threads do we need about this subject?

It’s almost like some here can’t wait for the full investigation to complete. I want there to be an investigation, have both sides heard, and then whatever action, if any, be taken in accordance with the outcome of that investigation.

I see nothing wrong with that.

5. Generally, lying to an Investgator is frowned upon, whether you take an oath or not...
