Dozens of officials working
in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration have received subpoenas, according to the
Wall Street Journal.
The attorney general’s office reportedly sent out subpoenas to top
aides, including Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa, as part of the
investigation of sexual harassment allegations made against the governor.
The office is requesting documents or another form of hard
evidence that could give insight into the investigation.
The report also says that investigators for the attorney general
also questioned women accusing Cuomo of inappropriate behavior about their
interactions with DeRosa.
Former Cuomo aide Ann Liss, who accused the governor of misconduct, says
investigators were trying to figure out if she was targeted by DeRosa.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Cuomo’s administration lawyer Paul
Fishman said,
“No one should be surprised the attorney general’s office is issuing requests
for documents and interviewing witnesses.”
