Andrew Cuomo sued New York Attorney General Letitia James in state court on Thursday.
Cuomo is asking that interviews from James's 2021 sexual harassment report be released.
The report led to lawsuits from two women formerly employed by him.
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is suing state Attorney General Letitia James in an effort to force her to release interviews from the damaging sexual misconduct investigation that led to his resignation.
Cuomo filed the case against James in New York state court on Thursday, arguing he needs the witness statements in full to defend himself against two sexual harassment lawsuits linked to the investigation.
One lawsuit was filed by an unidentified female state trooper on his detail who said the former governor kissed and touched her inappropriately. Another, brought on by his former executive assistant, Charlotte Bennett, claims Cuomo made unwanted advances while she was employed from May 2019 to June 2020.
A federal judge declined to release similar records in a separate case filed by Cuomo last year.
In a Friday statement to CBS News, Cuomo called the 2021 report a "sham" and claimed that James had tried to "hide" the evidence used in the report.
