“Today, after months of waiting, I was finally given the opportunity to review the Assembly Judiciary Committee’s report summarizing the independent investigation into the several allegations against the former governor. The process was much lengthier than many had hoped for: however, I believe that the 45-page report is fact-based, thorough and independent of the work of the Attorney General’s office, thanks to the efforts of our reputable outside counsel. These are hard and substantiated truths, not political spin.

“While the legacy of the former governor is up to New Yorkers to decide, I believe that it is critical that the public is made aware of the overwhelming evidence of wrong-doing and abuse of power that occurred. In the coming days - not weeks or months - our committee must produce the final report, so the general public has an opportunity to learn what we have uncovered.”
