Not only did New York’s attorney general conclude that Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women; the governor also tried to punish them for speaking out. And he solicited help from one of the leading feminist organizations in the country to do it.

The Washington Post reported this week that attorney Roberta Kaplan, a co-founder of the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, helped the Democratic governor’s office draft a letter that smeared the credibility of Lindsey Boylan, one of the first victims to come forward about Cuomo’s inappropriate behavior toward her. Kaplan, along with Time’s Up President Tina Tchen, reviewed the letter at the request of Melissa DeRosa, a top Cuomo adviser. DeRosa reportedly said Kaplan was “fine” with the letter, which attacked Boylan as being politically motivated and dismissed her allegations as illegitimate.
