The inquiry from the New York State attorney general declared that Cuomo’s administration was a “hostile work environment” and was “rife with fear and intimidation,” according to the Associated Press.

Cuomo has denied such accusations and rebuffed calls for him to resign. “I never touched anyone inappropriately,” Cuomo said Tuesday and called the investigation “biased,” reports The New York Times.

After the report was made public, President Joe Biden urged Cuomo to resign.
