I wonder if his brother will be covering this on CNN?
Cuomo’s past condemnation of sexual harassment and abuse
When four women accused former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman of abuse Gov. Cuomo called for an investigation and Schneiderman’s resignation.
Gov. Cuomo also remarked about allegations waged at Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in October 2018. He called it a “sad day” for the U.S. and said the day of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh would “haunt us for as long as he is on the court.”
“To Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and all survivors of sexual assault, we believe you and we will fight for you.”

At least he's going down for something. Imho, he should be charged with murder as well, for what did to all the seniors when we were in lockdown. Cuomo is a prime example of liberal hypocrisy...

The governor specifically addressed Charlotte Bennett’s claim that he asked her inappropriate questions, including about being a sexual assault survivor, while she worked for him last year. He said her story “resonated deeply with me,” because his own family member survived a sexual assault in high school.
“I did ask her questions I don’t normally ask people. I did ask her how she was doing and how she was feeling, and I did ask questions to try to see if she had positive, supportive dating relationships,” he said. “I thought I had learned enough and had enough personal experience to help her, but I was wrong.”
“Charlotte, I want you to know that I am truly and deeply sorry. I brought my personal experience into the workplace and I shouldn’t have done that. I was trying to help, obviously, I didn’t,” he went on to say. “I wish nothing but good for you and for all survivors of sexual assault.”
The governor went on to address complaints that he put his hands on people’s faces, including Anna Ruch, who he was photographed with at a wedding in 2019.
“I’ve been making the same gesture in public all my life. I actually learned it from my mother and from my father. It is meant to convey warmth, nothing more. Indeed, there are hundreds, if not thousands of photos of me using the exact same gesture,” Cuomo said while playing a slideshow of the photos. “I do it with everyone — Black and white, young and old, straight and LGBTQ, powerful people, friends, strangers, people who I meet on the street.”
Cuomo knows if he can stay out of jail and not get impeached he has a pretty good chance at being reelected. Just a short time ago like 2015 multiple sexual harassment allegations meant you resign. Trump proved that you can survive and thrive despite not only multiple sexual harassment allegations but credible sexual assault and rape allegations. For those thinking Trump was a one off Virginia put a damper on that hope. The Lieutenant Governor faced sexual assault allegations, hung tough and the resignation calls went away, same deal with the Governor and Attorney General after old blackface pictures emerged.
Back in New York Cuomo will likely face Congressmen Lee Zeldin who voted against certifying the election and who emerged as a leading public defender of Trump. So our choice could very well be sexual harasser Cuomo whose decision killed tens of thousands nursing home residents or Zeldin an active participant in the moral equivalent of treason. For non New Yorkers be glad you don’t have to pick our poison.

Biden Calls On New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo To Resign After Harassment Report
"I think he should resign," Biden said of his fellow Democrat.
He stopped short of calling for Cuomo's impeachment and removal by the New York State Assembly, or whether he should be prosecuted.
Asked if he condones Cuomo's use of a photo of him that the governor is using to defend himself, Biden said, "Look, I'm not going to flyspeck this. I'm sure there were some embraces that were totally innocent, but apparently the attorney general decided there were some that weren't."
Biden, who said he had not spoken with Cuomo on Tuesday, said that he had not read the report in detail and that he only knows the "end result."
Biden has had a long friendship with Cuomo dating back to the years his father, Mario Cuomo, was governor of New York. The elder Cuomo is revered in New York and became a national figure, especially with his 1984 Democratic National Convention speech, laying out the direction for the party while it was in the political wilderness during the Ronald Reagan years.
On Tuesday afternoon, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., also called on Cuomo to resign. She called the investigation "comprehensive" and praised the women who "came forward to speak their truth."
New York's two Senators Schumer and Gillibrand put out a joint statement calling on him to resign. Pretty much the entire NY congressional delegation as well as local officials are saying the same thing.

As I understand things (based on several reliable sources), Mr Cuomo wasn't particularly liked within his party, but was seen as a useful tool to wield against the former President: Given that person now no longer holds the position, Mr Cuomo's "usefulness" has expired and he is seen as expendable, which would explain (partially) the number of party members seeking his resignation.
I hope he fries.

Spot on.
The Democratic party now can afford to trim the deadhead wood from its party.
Another positive in removing the orange man.
Unfortunately, Mr Biden's "Department of Justice" has decided that those people's civil rights were not important:
In a letter Friday, the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs told US Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), ranking member of that House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, that New York was off the hook in connection with potential violations of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.
“The Justice Department turned its back on seniors who died. The Justice Department covered up the cover-up,” Pabey said.
“I do believe this is political. Biden doesn’t want to shed a negative light on Cuomo, the Democrats and the Democratic Party. He’s trying to sweep this under the rug.”
And Vivian Zayas, whose mom, Ana, died after contracting COVID in Long Island nursing home after recovering from knee surgery, said: “I’m sick to my stomach. We’re in disbelief. Cuomo’s mandate caused a wildfire and thousands of deaths of nursing home residents.”
“Biden is covering up for Cuomo and other Democratic governors who followed his lead. Imagine if Trump did this? It’s a shame that this is partisan and grieving families are caught in a partisan game. It’s a partisan cover up. Who do we turn to now?! No one is curious about thousands of vulnerable elderly people died of COVID through no fault of their own.”

However (from the same article), there still does appear to be a small glimmer of hope:

Liberal hypocrisy? It's liberals who are demanding he face the music for his personal and professional bad behavior. That's very much unlike how the right is carrying on the "stop the steal" charade, even though they know their orange messiah is full of crap.

Andrew Cuomo's office retaliated against one of his accusers by leaking confidential documents about her, NY Attorney General says
https://news.yahoo.com/andrew-cuomos-of ... 21246.html
"Such actions and retaliation against someone who came forward with claims of sexual harassment violates multiple state and federal laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964"
