Albany DA To Drop ‘Forcible Touching’ Charges Against Andrew Cuomo
It seems Andrew Cuomo won’t be held criminally accountable for any of his actions as governor of New York.
The New York Post reported on Monday that “Albany County District Attorney David Soares is expected to drop criminal charges of forcible touching against disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo days before he was to be arraigned.” Cuomo was scheduled to be arraigned in Albany City Court on Friday for allegations that he groped Brittany Commisso, his former staffer, in 2020.
Commisso, according to the Times-Union, wanted to pursue charges against Cuomo, but was told during a meeting with prosecutors Monday afternoon “that they were planning to invoke their discretion not to move forward, in part, because of the manner in which the criminal complaint had been filed, according to a person briefed on the matter.”
Commisso’s attorney, Brian Premo, said in a statement Tuesday morning that his client “had no control over the filing or prosecution of criminal charges.”- READ MORE
