(AP) \u2014 New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo faced mounting pressure Tuesday to resign, including from President Joe Biden and other onetime Democratic allies, after an investigation found he sexually harassed nearly a dozen women and worked to retaliate against one of his accusers.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cI think he should resign,\u201d Biden told reporters Tuesday, echoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and New York\u2019s U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, all Democrats.<\/p>\n

The leader of the state Assembly, which has the power to bring impeachment charges, said it was clear Cuomo could no longer remain in office. Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat, said he would move to complete an impeachment inquiry \u201cas quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Cuomo remained defiant, saying in a taped response to the findings that \u201cthe facts are much different than what has been portrayed\u201d and that he \u201cnever touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In a telephone conversation with Heastie, Cuomo insisted he wouldn\u2019t leave office and told the speaker he needed to work fellow Democrats and garner enough votes to stop an impeachment, according to a person familiar with the conversation.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But Heastie said he couldn\u2019t do that, said the person, who could not publicly discuss details of the private conversation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The nearly five-month, non-criminal investigation, overseen by New York\u2019s attorney general and\u00a0led by two outside lawyers<\/a>, concluded that 11 women from within and outside state government were telling the truth when they said Cuomo had touched them inappropriately, commented on their appearance or made suggestive comments about their sex lives.<\/p>\n

Those accusers included an aide who said Cuomo groped her breast at the governor\u2019s mansion, and a state trooper on his security detail who said he ran his hand or fingers across her stomach and her back.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Anne Clark, who led the probe with former U.S. Attorney Joon Kim, said the allegations had varying degrees of corroboration, including other witnesses and contemporaneous text messages. Investigators interviewed 179 people, including the governor himself.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThese interviews and pieces of evidence revealed a deeply disturbing yet clear picture: Gov. Cuomo sexually harassed current and former state employees in violation of federal and state laws,\u201d New York Attorney General Letitia James said at a press conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Many of the women said they feared retaliation if they reported Cuomo\u2019s behavior, investigators said, describing his administration as a hostile workplace \u201crife with fear and intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n

On one occasion, the probe found, Cuomo\u2019s staff took action \u201cintended to discredit and disparage\u201d an accuser \u2014 Lindsey Boylan, the first former employee to publicly accuse him of wrongdoing \u2014 including leaking confidential personnel files and drafting a letter attacking her credibility.<\/p>\n

The investigation\u2019s findings,\u00a0detailed in a 165-page public report<\/a>, turn up the pressure on the 63-year-old governor, who just a year ago was widely hailed for his steady leadership during the darkest days of the COVID-19 crisis, even writing a book about it.<\/p>\n

Since then, he\u2019s seen his standing crumble with a drumbeat of harassment allegations, questions in a separate, ongoing inquiry into whether state resources went into writing the book, and the discovery that his administration concealed the true number of nursing home deaths during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Schumer and Gillibrand said Tuesday\u2019s report only reinforces the calls they and other New York Democrats made for Cuomo to resign after the bulk of the allegations were made public last winter.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo elected official is above the law. The people of New York deserve better leadership in the governor\u2019s office. We continue to believe that the Governor should resign,\u201d they said in a joint statement.<\/p>\n

While James concluded the investigation without referring the case to prosecutors for possible criminal charges, local authorities could use its evidence and findings to mount cases. Albany District Attorney David Soares said he would request materials from James\u2019 office and welcomed victims to contact him.<\/p>\n

Heastie said the investigation\u2019s findings are crucial to expediting the ongoing state Assembly inquiry into whether there are\u00a0grounds to impeach Cuomo<\/a>, who\u2019s been raising money for a potential fourth term. The Assembly hired its own legal team to investigate myriad allegations regarding harassment, his book, nursing homes and special access to COVID-19 testing.<\/p>\n

In his taped response, Cuomo apologized to two accusers: Charlotte Bennett, who said the governor asked if she was open to sex with an older man after she confided she had been a sexual assault victim, and a woman he kissed at a wedding. Cuomo said he was hiring an expert to reform sexual harassment training for state employees, including the governor.<\/p>\n

But he denied other allegations as fabricated and lashed out at the investigative process, saying it was fueled by \u201cpolitics and bias.\u201d He explained that he\u2019s physically embraced people his whole life, that his mother and father \u2014 former Gov. Mario Cuomo \u2014 had done the same and that the gesture was meant to \u201cconvey warmth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuomo\u2019s lawyer issued a written rebuttal to the investigation\u2019s findings, arguing in most cases that serious allegations, like the alleged groping, didn\u2019t happen, or that his actions were misconstrued.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who are using this moment to score political points or seek publicity or personal gain. I say they actually discredit the legitimate sexual harassment victims that the law was designed to protect,\u201d Cuomo said.<\/p>\n

Bennett called the governor\u2019s apology \u201cmeaningless.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he were sorry, he would step down. That\u2019s how accountability works,\u201d she told the AP. \u201cI don\u2019t believe he will resign. I think it\u2019s the speaker\u2019s job now to begin impeachment proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report detailed, for the first time, the allegations involving the state trooper. It said that in addition to touching her, Cuomo kissed her on the cheek, asked for her help in finding a girlfriend and asked why she didn\u2019t wear a dress.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The report also included an allegation from a woman working for an energy company who said Cuomo touched her chest at an event, running his fingers across the lettering on her shirt and reading the name of her company aloud. According to the report, he then leaned in and told her, \u201cI\u2019m going to say I see a spider on your shoulder\u201d before brushing his hand between her shoulder and breasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese brave women stepped forward to speak truth to power and, in doing so, they expressed faith in the belief that although the governor may be powerful, the truth is even more so,\u201d Kim told reporters.<\/p>\n

Cuomo faced multiple allegations<\/a>, starting with Boylan, who said\u00a0Cuomo kissed her on the lips<\/a>\u00a0after a meeting in his office and \u201cwould go out of his way to touch me on my lower back, arms and legs.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Boylan went public, Cuomo\u2019s staff released personnel memos to the media revealing that she left the administration after being confronted about complaints she belittled and yelled at her staff. Boylan has said the leak was \u201can effort to smear me.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an 11-hour interview with investigators last month, Cuomo admitted to certain behaviors while denying other allegations, investigators said. For example, Clark said, he conceded asking Bennett whether she had been involved with older men and said he may have kissed the state trooper at an event but denied touching her.<\/p>\n

Asked about an allegation that he grabbed a woman\u2019s breast at the executive mansion, according to the report, Cuomo responded: \u201cI would have to lose my mind to do such a thing\u201d to a woman he hardly knew, with multiple staff members around.<\/p>\n

Cuomo always denied inappropriate touching, but\u00a0he initially said he was sorry<\/a>\u00a0if his behavior with women was \u201cmisinterpreted as unwanted flirtation.\u201d He got more combative in recent months, saying he did nothing wrong and questioning the neutrality of the lawyers leading the probe. Kim was involved in previous investigations of corruption by people in Cuomo\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

New York state regulations define sexual harassment to include unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature \u2014 from unwanted flirtation to sexual jokes \u2014 that creates an offensive work environment, regardless of a perpetrator\u2019s intent.<\/p>\n

Cuomo championed a landmark 2019 state law that made it easier for sexual harassment victims to prove their case in court. Alleged victims no longer have to meet the high bar of proving sexual harassment is \u201csevere and pervasive.\u201d<\/p>\n
