The Human Rights Campaign announced the firing of its president, Alphonso David, on Monday following an independent investigation into his reported effort to assist former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo during his sexual harassment scandal.

The organization’s investigation began last month following the release of a report from New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office, which found the former governor sexually harassed 11 women and created a hostile work environment during his time in office. HRC found that David’s efforts to help Cuomo fend off challenges of sexual harassment were “in violation of HRC’s Conflict of Interest policy and the mission of HRC.”
