A New York ethics agency has voted to maintain its approval of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s book deal, despite the body recently approving an investigation into that authorization.

On Tuesday, the Joint Commission on Public Ethics voted 7-2 to undo its 2020 agreement allowing Cuomo to rake in an estimated $5.1 million from American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic. The measure required eight votes to pass.
