New York Governor Andrew Cuomo lashed out at a reporter who asked about claims made by his attorney alleging they have discrediting information about one of his accusers during a Saturday press briefing on Hurricane Henri - just days before he is slated to leave office after announcing his resignation.
The reporter asked about a claim by Cuomo's attorney Rita Glavin, who said Friday she had information related to the credibility of Charlotte Bennett, one of the women who accused the governor of sexual misconduct. Glavin would not specify what the information is, WTEN-TV reported.
Cuomo, a Democrat, dismissed the question, saying he did not "want to get into Albany politics." Rather, he insisted on staying on topic and answer questions only about Hurricane Henri, which is set to bring heavy rain, wind and storms to Long Island Sunday.
"If you think justice is to accept a complaint from a person without investigation and without credibility determinations and without looking at past actions of that person, then you don't know what the justice system is," he said. "You've never been in a situation where you just reiterate complaints, and you don't investigate them and you don't say whether or not the law even applies to them."
He added "that's not justice. That's a bulletin board posting complaints."
"Justice is, I hear the complaint and welcome everyone to come forward, and that takes courage and that takes bravery. But we need to know the facts," he told the reporter. "I can make a complaint about you today, maybe it's true. Maybe it's not true. But that's why they do investigations."

Cuomo killed my state.
cuomo just can’t help beating women ..... he can’t help it
That sign is so heartbreaking
“Cuomo, a Democrat”
That’s a stunning admission from a mainstream media source.
Why didn’t he resign immediately?
Can’t STAND him at the mic. You can hear every lick and swallow and breath. It’s SOOOOOO GROSS!
Did his minders do this on purp?
There are still some envelopes to collect for the month of August.
Retirement benefits.
Gee, they never say that about a Republican target.
They don't even see it, do they? What rank hypocrites they are?
Sad sign and no accountability from him, Wolf or any of the other Democrat governors who pulled the same $#*+. It is a sick society that tolerates killing old people (and babies) without consequence.
Cuomo’s predilections have been an open secret for years and nobody gave a damn.
Wish we knew the real reason Deep State wants him gone.
He’s a Clintoon tool so Berry and company might be coopting cuomo’s money stream.
“Lashes Out”?
I’m continually amazed by the arrogance and traitorous behavior of the left.
Yes ☹️
rather fitting that a hurricane chases him out of town
Well he did commute several criminals.
Shakedown? maybe his 5 million from the book deal wasn’t enough.
