The Secret Hand Behind the Women Who Stood by Cuomo? His Sister.
For nearly two years, Madeline Cuomo quietly worked with grass-roots activists to help smear her brother’s accusers. He was “seeing everything,” she told his defenders.

Aug. 7, 2023

The menacing posts began cropping up on Twitter last September just hours after a former aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York sued him over sexual harassment claims.

The tweets attacked the aide, Charlotte Bennett, in starkly personal terms. “Your life will be dissected like a frog in a HS science class,” read one of the most threatening, which also featured a photo of Ms. Bennett dancing at a bar in lingerie.

The post was part of a thread written by Anna Vavare, a leader of a small but devoted group of mostly older women who banded together online to defend Mr. Cuomo from a cascade of sexual misconduct claims that led to his resignation in August 2021. But it turns out, her tweets had secretly been ordered up by someone even closer to the former governor’s cause: Madeline Cuomo, his sister.

In the hours before the posts went live that morning, Ms. Cuomo exchanged dozens of text messages with Ms. Vavare and another leader of the pro-Cuomo group We Decide New York, Inc., pushing the activists to target Ms. Bennett, one of the first women to accuse Mr. Cuomo of sexual harassment. She appeared to invoke her brother’s wishes.

Are you effing kidding me?
Cuomo weighs run for NYC mayor amid Adams’ woes
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo wouldn’t try to compete in a primary against Eric Adams

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is indicating to allies he may want to run for New York City mayor if fellow Democrat Eric Adams sinks under the weight of a federal investigation.

Cuomo, who resigned more than two years ago amid allegations of sexual harassment and claims his administration covered up the number of Covid-19 deaths tied to nursing homes, has begun in recent days to gauge the viability of a potential mayoral bid, according to eight people who have talked to him or his inner circle.

Andrew Cuomo is suing Letitia James to release interviews from bombshell sexual harassment report

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.
