Anyone looking to get down on some good New York Governor Andrew Cuomo betting better do it quickly. Reports surfaced Thursday evening he is expected to face questions on Saturday from members of the New York state attorney general's office related to their investigation into sexual harassment allegations against him.
BetOnline had offered odds on whether Cuomo would resign. That price was as low as +150.
The interview with Cuomo signals that the investigation could be nearing its final stages, though no timeline has been established.
It began in December when a former aide to Curomo, Lindsey Boylan, alleged "(Cuomo) sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched."
She further claimed that the New York Democrat "exists without ethics", "takes advantage of people, including me" and ran a "toxic team environment".
Cuomo addressed the matter publicly back in April. He has denied any wrongdoing since the allegations were first lodged against him.
"You were in those rooms. You know the truth. So can you tell the people of the state of New York yes or no? Did you do the things you were accused of?” asked New York Times reporter Jesse McKinley.
“To put it very simply, no.” Cuomo said.
“All the groping, the sexual harassment, you deny all of that?” McKinley said.
“That’s right. Yes,” Cuomo said.
Regarding the latest developments, a senior adviser to Cuomo, Richard Azzopardi, told CNN in a statement Thursday, "We have said repeatedly that the Governor doesn't want to comment on this review until he has cooperated, but the continued leaks are more evidence of the transparent political motivation of the Attorney General's review."
