The woman whose charges on Wednesday sparked government sexual harassment scandal Andrew Cuomo called the impeachment investigation against him a “farce” and vowed not to cooperate.
Meanwhile, another indictment said he had to spend up to three hours interviewed by independent investigators conducting an independent investigation for Attorney General Letitia James.
In a couple of tweets, Cuomo’s former aide, Lindsey Boylan, repeatedly attacked Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-The Bronx), who last week authorized an impeachment investigation by the Judicial Committee of the Assembly.
“Don’t trust @CarlHeastie. His impeachment investigation is not designed to be transparent or move quickly, and there is nothing that @NYGovCuomo wants more than time. ” she wrote.
“Many of us have not put our whole life at the disposal of this shit. I’m sure I don’t have it and I won’t. “
Boylan, now a Democratic candidate for president of the Manhattan district, also said she and other unspecified women would not cooperate with the Judicial Committee’s investigation.
“What sense would it make for survivors to talk to investigators about your fake investigation @ CarlHeastie?” she wrote.
“I’m in conversation with other women who have no interest in your cynical and corrupt ‘investigation.’
Boylan’s attorney, Jill Basinger, later told The Post in an email that Boylan was “fully cooperating” with the attorney general’s investigation and “was interviewed last weekend by investigators assigned by the prosecutor’s office. general “.
“It’s clear from the interview that researchers are moving fast and taking their work seriously,” Basinger said.
“We are pleased with the scope of the investigation and the depth and completeness of their interrogation.”
The Hostie’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Boylan, 36, has alleged that Cuomo, 63, subjected her to harassment that included kissing her “on the lips” when she left a meeting at her Manhattan office in 2018.
Also Wednesday, Cuomo’s former aide, Ana Liss, 35, told USA Today that she had agreed to a meeting Thursday afternoon with the attorney general’s external investigators.
Liss, who has accused Cuomo of saying, “Hey, love!” kissing her cheeks and grabbing her by the waist to pose for a photo in 2014, she said she had been asked to set aside three hours for the session.
“I think he’ll remember something really harmful that happened to me that I had no control over,” Liss said.
“I think I’m contributing to the efforts to correct mistakes and make the seat of state government a more equitable and fair place for people’s work, no matter how you look or your sonority or mansion. “.
Liss will be at least the third woman interviewed as part of the research commissioned by James.
On Monday, a lawyer for Cuomo’s former aide, Charlotte Bennett, 25, said she had been interviewed for nearly four hours and revealed that Cuomo was allegedly fixed in the size of her hands and allegedly told her to her and the rest of the staff what that meant.
Attorney Debra Katz did not detail in her prepared statement.
Cuomo, who has been accused of such serious acts as throbbing an assistant at the executive mansion late last year, has repeatedly denied having “touched someone inappropriately” or engaging in sexual harassment.
He has also urged New Yorkers to withdraw from the trial pending the results of the twin investigations.
