Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sued the state’s ethics commission to stop it from forcing him to hand over more than $5.1 million he made from the sale of his COVID-19 memoir.
Cuomo, who resigned in August amid sexual harassment allegations, said the Joint Commission on Public Ethics is prejudiced and can’t give him a fair hearing.
“Never in the history of New York has an agency so breathtakingly and irresponsibly prejudged a matter on which it is the final decision maker,” Cuomo said in a lawsuit filed Friday in state court in Albany.
