A tendency to dismiss the governor of New York after accusing him of sexual harassment

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has faced accusations of sexual harassment of several women, most of whom are employees, has lost the Democratic majority in the state assembly, and he can no longer serve as governor, the New York State Assembly Speaker confirmed.

House Speaker Carl A. Hesty's statement came after an emergency meeting with fellow Democrats to discuss how the House would act to impeach the state's governor, as the House has the sole authority to impeach him.

"It is abundantly clear to me that the Governor has lost the confidence of the Democratic majority in the House and can no longer remain in office," Hasty said in his statement.

During a video meeting that lasted more than two and a half hours, most lawmakers said they believed there was enough evidence for the House to work on articles to impeach the state's governor as soon as possible, according to four people familiar with the procedures.

Judiciary Committee Chairman and Council member Charles D.

Lavigne, said the articles could not be drafted immediately, no timetable was set during the meeting, and the Judiciary Committee is expected to meet and discuss the impeachment inquiry next Monday.

According to a source familiar with the process, it may take up to a month to complete the investigation and formulate the insulation materials.

A source familiar with the matter said the trial in the state Senate could begin in late September or October.

The Senate has so far acted as a kind of wall to protect Cuomo since several accusations of sexual harassment first surfaced earlier this year, and top New York Democrats have called for Cuomo to resign. Among those calling is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and the leader of the state Senate, Andrea Stewart-Cousins.

One person familiar with the meeting said that the vast majority of those attending the meeting were willing to impeach Cuomo, and another said that "the situation is not in Cuomo's favour, not a single person supports the governor."
