New York Assembly hires top law firm for Cuomo investigation

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s Assembly has hired a Manhattan law firm to assist in its impeachment investigation of Gov. President Joe Biden said in an interview with ABC News on Tuesday that Cuomo, a fellow Democrat, should resign if the state attorney general’s investigation confirms the claims against him. The people of New York agree with him on that.” Cuomo cited a recent opinion poll of 805 registered voters that found 50% said he shouldn’t resign. “While Ms. Bennett is committed to cooperating with all appropriate governmental inquiries, including the impeachment investigation, the involvement of Davis Polk gives her pause.” Boylan tweeted that she believes the Assembly’s decision to task its Judiciary Committee with investigating the governor “is not designed to be transparent or to move fast, and there’s nothing @NYGovCuomo wants more than time.” “Many of us have not put our whole lives on the line for this crap.
