New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's political future hangs in the balance after an explosive report by the state attorney general's office found a "pattern of inappropriate conduct." His legal fate may too. Plus, can the U.K. offer any lessons on how to beat the Covid delta variant? And all the latest from the Tokyo Olympics.
Here's what we're watching this Wednesday morning. Cuomo is accused of breaking laws, but will he be criminally charged? New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's political future remains uncertain after a report by the state attorney general's office concluded that he sexually harassed almost a dozen women and broke state and federal laws.
But could the findings pave the way for a criminal prosecution, too? Chances are thin, legal experts say.
Still, his political future does not look bright. President Joe Biden is the latest in a long line of Democrats who have called for his resignation.
Messages from Cuomo's accusers and staffers describe a 'dehumanizing and traumatizing' workplace, while the report also sheds new light on how CNN anchor Chris Cuomo advised his brother.
The governor forcefully denied the allegations Tuesday. In a video statement, he said the facts "are much different" than those presented in the report and ignored renewed calls for his resignation.
Read the 10 most explosive experts from the report that claims the three-term governor engaged in "a pattern of inappropriate conduct."
News Analysis: The writing is on the wall for the beleaguered New York governor, writes NBC News' senior national politics reporter Jonathan Allen. Whether he heeds the call — and when — is up to him. Wednesday's Top Stories
