misdemeanor charges stemming from a criminal complaint filed by his former executive assistant britney kamisospeaking with abc news. >> he put his hand up his blouse and cupped my breast over my bra. >> reporter: cuomo's legal team disputing her account and calling the motivations for the entire attorney general's report into question. >> the report got key facts wrong, it omitted key evidence, and it failed to include witnesses whose testimony did not support the narrative that was clear, that this investigation was going to weave from day one. >> reporter: the sexual harassment allegations are not the only controversy that has been swirling around the governor. >> there were so many questions for governor cuomo about the use of state resources to write a book, about providing preferential testing for his friends and family, whether he funneled the numbers when it came to covid-19 deaths in state nursing homes. a lot of the luster had already started to come off by the time women started to come forward with accusations. >> reporter: in two weeks, governor cuomo will be succeeded by lieutena

britney kamiso says the governor groped her under her blouse.h president biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, gillibrand and other of home state democrats calling for cuomo to quit, does that fuel the story? because we can run pieces that say pressure rising on governor cuomo to resign. >> i really don't think it does. i think this is going to be something that the media sweeps under the rug in part because they're so embarrassed about their performance and how much they lauded governor cuomo in the past. i think what that they will try to move on from this as rapidly as they can. and i think that that's just a statement about how partisan, how publicly partisan so many in our media have become and i'll say this too. this is a he reminder about why we shouldn't lionized politicians and political electioned leaders as if they're somehow perfect avatars of everything we would like to see in leadership parties. it's a reminder we should not put these people on such a pet pedestal that you ignore the capacity they have to do sometimes terrible things
