Cuomo investigation expands over alleged politicization of vaccine distribution: Report

New York Attorney General Letitia James expanded her sexual harassment investigation into embattled Gov. Andrew Cuomo to look into claims that a top adviser tied counties’ COVID-19 vaccine access to support for the governor, according to a report.

Larry Schwartz, a volunteer adviser who oversaw vaccine distribution for the state, called at least half a dozen Democratic county executives to ask whether they would call for Cuomo’s resignation as the governor battled multiple scandals and sinking support among lawmakers, prompting one county executive to file a complaint with the attorney general’s office, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.
