President Joe Biden has called on Andrew Cuomo to resign after a damning independent inquiry found the New York governor had harassed multiple women.
Mr Biden’s condemnation of Mr Cuomo came hours after the state’s Attorney General Letitia James said the governor had violated state and federal laws.
In response, Mr Cuomo denied touching anyone inappropriately and vowed to stay in office.
Mr Cuomo could now be impeached, and is also facing a separate criminal probe.
“I think he should resign,” Mr Biden told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “I understand that the state legislature may decide to impeach. I don’t know that for a fact. I have not read all that data.”
