The move comes after the Assembly said it wouldn’t pursue impeachment following Cuomo’s resignation. Critics say this doesn’t hold Cuomo accountable. nia_prater reports

Days later, on Monday morning, it was announced that the Assembly will release its findings in a public report. “The Assembly Judiciary Committee will continue to review evidence and issue a final report on its investigation of Governor Cuomo,” Heastie and Judiciary Chair Charles Lavine said in a joint statement.

Lindsey Boylan, the first woman to go public with allegations of sexual harassment against the governor, called the Assembly’s move to suspend the investigation “an unjust cop out.” Charlotte Bennett, a former aide who also accused Cuomo, said that Heastie “can’t muster enough courage to simply do his job.”

Heastie cited Cuomo resigning as one reason for halting the investigation since part of the probe’s mission was to determine whether his removal from office was necessary. However, in the days following his resignation, the governor still seemed defiant, certain that he would’ve survived any impeachment trial.
