WASHINGTON — White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday praised the “courageous women” whose complaints of sexual harassment forced Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s resignation.
The Democratic governor said Tuesday he will step down after a devastating report commissioned by New York Attorney General Letitia James found he harassed 11 women — making impeachment likely.
“Our view is that this is a story about these courageous women who came forward, told their stories, shared their stories,” Psaki said at her daily press briefing.
President Biden last week called on Cuomo to resign following the release of the report that corroborated claims that Cuomo made lewd remarks and inappropriately touched subordinates.
Psaki declined to comment on whether Cuomo should resign effective immediately as opposed to in 14 days as planned. She said the White House did not receive a heads up on his announcement.
