Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo filed a lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James for documents related to her 2021 damaging sexual misconduct 2021 investigation that led to his resignation. This week, Cuomo filed the case in a New York State court, arguing he needs the 180 witness statements in full in order to defend himself against two sexual harassment lawsuits linked to the investigation. The lawsuit states that the public has a right to know James' "full basis in making the significant and impactful decisions in issuing the consequential Report and causing the resignation of their democratically elected governor."
