Cuomo Attorney Attacks Credibility Of Female Accusers, New York Attorney General

One of Andrew Cuomo’s attorneys has released a new attack on the credibility of some of the former governor’s female accusers as well as the New York State Attorney General, who published a report on Cuomo’s sexual misconduct that led to his resignation.

The New York Daily News reported that Cuomo’s attorney, Rita Glavin, sent a letter to state Assembly Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Lavine on September 13 that included an attack on the credibility of Cuomo’s accusers, particularly Charlotte Bennett.

Glavin claims in her letter, citing an unnamed source, that Bennett as a student at Hamilton College lied about a meeting with school president David Wippman and was one of four students alluded to in a federal lawsuit alleging false accusations against a male student.

Debra Katz, Bennett’s attorney who also represented Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford, fired back at Glavin’s letter, calling the claims about her client “false, defamatory and disgusting.”

“Her exclusive reliance on an unidentified witness whose allegations crumble under even the lightest scrutiny is particularly troubling,” Katz said, according to the Daily News. “Her client must be desperate to authorize this type of gutter ball. We are confident the committee will see through this transparent effort to smear a highly credible woman whose courage in coming forward led to the governor’s downfall.” – READ MORE
