The Human Rights Campaign has hired Sidley Austin to conduct an internal investigation after a probe by the New York attorney general revealed that the group's president, Alphonso David, played a role in responding to sexual misconduct claims against Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Sidley Austin will investigate whether the actions of David, Cuomo's former counsel, "aligned with HRC's mission and values, as well as with professional and ethics standards," the HRC said in a statement Monday.
David was among the individuals who saw drafts of a letter that would have pushed back against claims made by ex-Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan against the governor, according to the report. The letter was never published.from her post as board chair of anti-bias and harassment group Time's Up, after the AG's investigators found Kaplan had weighed in on the proposed Boylan response letter.
"I did not sign their original letter nor any of their other letters because it runs counter to my basic principles and the work I’ve dedicated my life to," David said.
