Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo criticized his accusers who have gone public amid ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct, arguing they had impacted the fairness of the process by speaking out.

Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing in response to allegations from nine women, including current and former aides in the governor’s office, who say he sexually harassed them. The governor told reporters on Thursday that it has been "very difficult" for him not to directly respond to claims accusers have made in the press.

"Theoretically, the way it’s supposed to work is the AG and the assembly say we’re doing a review, they then do the review and the review is done privately," Cuomo said during a press conference. "Here, what has happened is the complainants have continued to go to the press and make their complaint in the press. I have not been able to respond. That’s not fair and it’s not right. So I’m trying to be respectful, but I’m very eager to tell my side of the story."






Odd... We see things tried in the press daily, including winning undeserved awards and requests to run for President as "this is how a real leader acts".
