The state of New York agreed Friday to pay $450,000 to settle a lawsuit from an ex-aide to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo who alleged Cuomo sexually harassed and groped her while he was in office.
Brittany Commisso filed a criminal complaint against Cuomo in 2021, accusing him of groping her breast when she worked as his aide in the governor's office.
The former governor and current New York City mayoral candidate says the former aide’s suit should not be formally dismissed before the case advances into evidence gathering.
Cuomo had his chance and he ruined the subway system,” Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa said. “Running transit is not what a mayor does. He wants to be governor.”
Cuomo's comeback announcement got significantly ratioed by Mamdani's reply, which also raked in lots of new donations for the Democratic mayoral nominee.
