New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is facing allegations of sexual harassment from two former aides, and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) predicts that more individuals will be speaking out about the governor’s conduct. During a press conference on Monday, de Blasio was asked if the controversy surrounding Cuomo is a “culmination” of his behavior over the years. “I don’t know why he has done these things he has done over the years, but he has,” de Blasio responded.
