Instead, it was a place where everyone simply served the whims of Andrew Cuomo. It hurt her personally because she felt the executive chamber was a place where people go to serve the public. It’s something that I think is fostered by the people that surround the governor, and it’s really reinforced on a regular basis.”īiaggi described the experience as whiplash between earning praise and being scorned. It is designed as a place where people are berated constantly.
The executive chamber is a place that is designed really to undermine staff. “I know that that might sound very extreme to your viewers, but that is the extreme behavior that goes on in side of that office. Alessandra Biaggi, who before seeking public office, worked in Cuomo’s general counsel office. “What motivated me to do this was my experience in the governor’s executive chamber, which I’ve described many times as a very dark period - the most dark period that I’ve lived through in a workplace setting,” said state Sen. One of the former staffers who spoke with the investigators stepped forward last week to share her own experiences with MSNBC anchor Yasmin Vossoughian. Without providing all the evidence collected, the lawyer says it’s difficult - if not impossible - for people to draw their own conclusions based on the complete picture. Glavin also complained that despite attorney general investigators interviewing well over 100 people, many of those discussions were not included in the final report. “And everyone has to ask themselves, why didn’t they do that? Why didn’t they get all of the emails from that day? Why didn’t they speak to any of the witnesses - there were so many who were in the mansion that day.” 16 to determine if their conclusion was correct,” Glavin said. “What was so apparent when I read the report is that the investigators didn’t bother to collect or review evidence about Nov. Glavin’s defense focused primarily on logs and email exchanges she says proved at least one of the reported incidents - where an aide said Cuomo groped her at the governor’s mansion - just couldn’t have happened. And I want to spend some time talking about it, because he’s been convicted in the media, and the Assembly - most of the members have made up their mind without hearing the other side.”
“Over the last eight days, the media frenzy contributed to what the report was, which was the investigators acted as the prosecutors, the judge and the jury of Gov. Glavin also blamed the media for not conducting its own investigations, and instead taking James’ report only at face value. Andrew Cuomo may be going, but he won’t be going without a fight.īefore the governor finally gave in to mounting political pressure to resign on Tuesday, Cuomo attorney Rita Glavin spent 45 minutes once again attempting to poke significant holes in state attorney general Letitia James’ report accusing the governor of multiple counts of sexual misconduct.Īs she did the day James first released those findings last week, Glavin claimed that investigation was far from complete, and because of that, failed to address a number of inconsistencies she says exists between some of the stories told by women who worked with Cuomo, and records she collected.
