Embattled former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo reportedly took advice from former President Bill Clinton as he fought for his political life amid multiple sexual abuse allegations. Clinton has faced multiple sexual assault allegations and was impeached by the House of Representatives after an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky was revealed. Cuomo has been the subject of a state sexual harassment investigation following accusations from 11 women who worked for the governor. Cuomo eventually resigned last August after a scathing report on the investigation was released by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The allegations included a range of inappropriate behavior, including insinuating that he wanted to engage in sexual relations with a young female employee, forced kisses, unwanted sexual displays and more. The disgraced governor said he was “deeply sorry” for any behavior deemed inappropriate while in office, but denied the allegations contained in James’ report and accused state investigators of bias.
