on a plane with governor andrew cuomo, a press aide and a state trooper, lindsey boylan, his former aide, says cuomo suddenly remarked "let's play strip poker." it's one of several stunning allegations of sexual harassment made in an essay she posted on the medium website. boylan said she first met the governor back in january of 2016, and by december, she says a staffer pass along the message from him. he said, look up lisa shields. you could be sisters, except you are the better looking sister. boylan says lisa shields was the governor's rumored x. by 2018, boylan was promoted to deputy secretary for economic development and special advisor to the governor, a job she says she initially turned down because she did not want to be near him. in that role, she says she found herself alone with cuomo in his manhattan office. "as i got up to leave and walk toward an open door," she writes, "he stepped in front of me and kissed me on the lips. i was in shock, but i kept walking." boylan first accuse the governor of sexually harassing her in a twitter thread in december. back then, the governor

and, david, lindsey boylan is now running for office in manhattan. governor cuomo denied her allegations when she first tweeted them back in december. david? >> errielle, thank you. >>> in the meantime, turning to texas where today lawmakers grilled executives about the state's power grid there, and we learned the entire grid was just 4:37 from a total blackout. marcus moore again from dallas. >> reporter: tonight, texas energy executives in the hot seat as state lawmakers try to figure out who is to blame for last week's catastrophic grid failure. >> where does the buck stop? is it you? >> reporter: governor abbott saying the responsibility lies with ercot, the agency that manages 90% of the state's power grid claiming that did not take the storm seriously. >> they downplayed the severity of it at the same time telling me and the public they were fully prepared for it. >> reporter: now we know the state was 4:37 away from a total blackout that could have left texans in the dark for weeks. >> we came dangerously close to losing the entire system. >>

i think the most striking thing about this whole essay by lindsey boylan, not the fact that she says or made these crude comments with a cigar box about bill clinton and monica lewinsky and asked her to play strip poker. it is the line where she said she should have been shocked, but it was expected. >> well, an important part of rule of law, a value that we use to hold, people are innocent until proven guilty. that applies to andrew cuomo. what is interesting is he does not hold to that same standard when it comes to his support for convicting people of allegations of sexual impropriety when they are not him, so he thought that brett kavanaugh's entire life and career and reputation should be destroyed because someone made an allegation against them. it is worth noting that we still don't have evidence that brett kavanaugh's accuser ever met him, much less that what she claimed happened happened. in this case, we know that this woman knows andrew cuomo, that she worked for him. there is also this issue that when it came to brett kavanaugh, he had a lifelong reputation of treating th

her side of what she experienced but what is really important to note, whether charlotte and lindsey boylanman ron kim who are staffers and elected officials who have spoken out and they are speaking up against people in or against someone in their own party. what is of note when you talk about lindsay and charlotte, these are young women who were in staff positions and the governor is a person in his third term and he is the highest ranking person in new york and he is someone who is approaching his mid 60s and it takes a tremendous amount of courage to speak up and it makes you wonder how many more people have been bullied and abused and we've had members of the media speak up and we fed other elected officials speak up and you wonder how many other staff members have stories to share and you get the feeling that there is a lot more where this came from during this steady stream of news that has come out over the course of the last few weeks because this has been the governor's reputation in many respects. eric: i think maybe you froze for a second bid there you go. maybe you froze and le

remember earlier in the week, former aide lindsey boylan said cuomo gave her an unwanted kiss on her when she worked there in 2018. cuomo denied that and lindsey bo boylan never came forward. he has been taking a lot of criticism about nursing home death data during the pandemic. so now he'll be facing two different investigations, one on harassment allegations and one in the early stages by the fbi in regards to the nursing home data, but it's unclear at this point that the probe is on the governor or members of administration, but again, fred, a lot going on there. >> right. so, brynn, when do we know about the status of the investigation into these accusations? >> reporter: yeah, so fred, the governor's office has asked the attorney general and the chief judge in the highest state to have an independent investigation, but we're already hearing from sources and lawmakers that this is not enough. here's the issue. they say what the governor's office is proposing doesn't allow subpoena power for the investigation, meaning they wouldn't be able to compel witnesses, they may not get th
