What’s the First Step in the Investigation into Cuomo?
Governor Andrew Cuomo is facing two investigations into his conduct — but where should investigators start?
Following multiple allegations of sexual harassment against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced the appointment of two attorneys, former Acting U.S. Attorney for SDNY Joon Kim and employment discrimination attorney Anne Clark, to lead the investigation into Cuomo’s behavior. Preet and Anne discuss the first steps of the investigation, and what evidence they would look for as investigators.
Meanwhile, all eyes are on Minneapolis as jury selection starts for the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin — who’s charged for the death of George Floyd. Preet and Anne analyze the charges against Chauvin, and the challenges of selecting impartial jurors.
