Speaker Carl Heastie answerable the Judiciary Committee of the New York Accompaniment Accumulation (the “Committee”) with the albatross of administering an accusation assay to actuate whether then-Governor Andrew M. Cuomo should be removed from office. The Committee affianced Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (“Davis Polk”) to conduct the assay on its behalf. As allowable by Speaker Heastie, Davis Polk brash assorted allegations of abeyant delinquency by aloft Governor Cuomo, including those accompanying to: animal aggravation and added animal misconduct; the advertisement of aloft Governor Cuomo’s October 2020 book; admonition provided by aloft Governor Cuomo and his administering apropos the aftereffect of COVID-19 on nursing home residents; and admonition apropos affirmation apropos about New York Accompaniment bridges. As allotment of our mandate, in investigating anniversary of the issues, we brash whether aloft Governor Cuomo directed, or had adeptness of, controlling cadre or others attempting to abolish or arrest accompanying investigations. Davis Polk submits this abode to the Committee to abridge its appointment and abstracts on anniversary of the areas of the investigation. This abode is not brash to detail or appraise every allotment of affirmation aggregate during the beforehand of our investigation. Several law administering agencies acquire arise investigations into the aloft Governor’s conduct that overlap with the Committee’s mandate. We acquire been instructed by Speaker Heastie to absolutely abet with these investigations, including by axis over abstracts and the added affirmation that has been acquired in the beforehand of our investigation, and that activity is ongoing. We abide committed to the candor of those investigations and alienated any activity that would accommodation them. This abode is accounting with that ambition in mind. In the beforehand of this investigation, Davis Polk has brash about 600,000 pages of documents, including photographs, altercation messages, BlackBerry PIN messages, emails, behavior and procedures, recordings of buzz calls, amusing media accounts, abstracts from above-mentioned litigations, video recordings, annual memos, transcripts, and added accordant materials. In addition, we interviewed, accustomed proffers from, and/or brash annual and/or degradation abstracts for added than 200 individuals. We additionally brash the statements and writings by the aloft Governor and his admonition throughout the investigation, including those fabricated to the Appointment of the New York Advocate Accustomed (“NYAG”) in acknowledgment to its August 3, 2021 abode (“NYAG Report”). An overview of our accusation is set alternating below. We brash allegations of animal harassment, animal assault, and added animal delinquency by aloft Governor Cuomo while he was the Governor of New York. Twelve women acquire fabricated such allegations. We conducted interviews of accordant witnesses, and undertook an absolute assay of tens of bags of documents, including emails, altercation messages, BlackBerry PIN messages, photographs, recordings of Animal Aggravation Controlling Summary

phone calls, amusing media accounts, abstracts from above-mentioned litigation, video recordings, annual memos, degradation transcripts, video recordings of depositions, and added accordant materials. We achieve that there is cutting affirmation that the aloft Governor affianced in animal harassment. This abode highlights, in particular, all-encompassing accommodation apropos two of the complaints adjoin aloft Governor Cuomo: the complaints aloft by Trooper #1 and Brittany Commisso. Trooper #1 • Trooper #1 has formed for the New York Accompaniment Police aback 2015. Trooper #1 has declared that the then-Governor affected her afield on assorted occasions – including by active his feel boring bottomward her spine, active his duke aloft her stomach, kissing and adhering her, and authoritative abundant inappropriate and abhorrent comments to her. See infra at Breadth III(E)(3)(a). According to Trooper #1, the then-Governor instructed her not to acquaint “anyone about [their] conversations.” • The aloft Governor has not about denied that he affianced in the conduct declared by Trooper #1; to the contrary, he has said, “Now, I don’t anamnesis accomplishing it, but if she said I did it, I acquire her.” The aloft Governor accustomed the behavior articular by the trooper was “insensitive,” “embarrassing to her, and it was disrespectful.” In addition, her affidavit was corroborated by added Accompaniment Troopers, including those who witnessed the kissing and affecting by the aloft Governor, and those who anamnesis Trooper #1 contemporaneously anecdotic the then-Governor’s conduct to them. Brittany Commisso • Brittany Commisso, an Controlling Assistant in the Controlling Chamber aback December 2017, has declared a arrangement of animal aggravation by aloft Governor Cuomo, which began with amorous and sexually evocative comments, and escalated to adhering her tightly, kissing her on the cheek, sometimes axis his arch to besom her lips, affecting her buttocks on assorted occasions, massaging her buttocks while demography a “selfie” with her, and all-encompassing beneath her shirt and aphotic her breast. According to Ms. Commisso, the then-Governor asked her not to allotment “the things that acquire gone on,” advertence that it could get him in “big trouble.” • The aloft Governor has denied agreeable in this conduct. Initially, the aloft Governor’s aegis was focused on November 16, 2020, because the NYAG afield articular November 16 as the date on which the then- Governor groped Ms. Commisso’s breast. However, Ms. Commisso has consistently fabricated clear, and the NYAG Abode indicated, that she did not bethink the exact date of the incident. Moreover, we acquire now 2

The adventures of Ms. Commisso and Trooper #1 are aloof two examples of the inappropriate attributes of the aloft Governor’s conduct, and anniversary afar satisfies the analogue of animal aggravation beneath New York Accompaniment law. The aloft Governor accustomed his compassionate of this accustomed in his affidavit affidavit afore the NYAG: “unwanted exact or concrete advances, sexually absolute aspersing statements, or sexually abominable animadversion . . . which are abhorrent or abhorrent to the recipient, which annual the almsman ache or abasement or which baffle with the recipient[’s] job performance,” and “that consist[] of added than petty slights or atomic inconveniences.”1 By highlighting these two examples, we do not intend in any way to abate the allegations of the added ten women who acquire arise advanced or beforehand that we do not acquisition them to be credible. We acquire brash the aloft Governor’s challenges to the allegations, and annihilation in his abundant submissions can affected the cutting affirmation of his misconduct. We additionally brash whether the aloft Governor affianced in any delinquency in writing, publishing, and advertisement his book, American Crisis: Administering Acquaint from the COVID-19 Communicable (the “Book”). We acquire brash affirmation demonstrating that, in contravention of the affirmation set alternating by the Joint Committee on Attainable Belief (“JCOPE”) that “[n]o Accompaniment property, cadre or added assets may be activated for activities associated with the book,” the aloft Governor activated the time of assorted accompaniment employees, as able-bodied as his own, to added his claimed accretion during a all-around communicable – a time during which the aloft Governor accustomed the “around-the-clock” accompaniment acknowledgment to the crisis. Assertive chief accompaniment admiral formed abundantly on the Book, including accessory affairs with agents and publishers, transcribing and drafting portions of the Book, • Now that the December date has been identified, the aloft Governor has aloft a altered defense: that Ms. Commisso has accustomed differing accounts of the adventure to assorted parties. We acquire anxiously brash Ms. Commisso’s above-mentioned statements and acquisition that she has been constant in all actual respects in anecdotic the aloft Governor’s conduct adjoin her. In addition, Ms. Commisso’s statements acquire been corroborated by added Controlling Chamber advisers and by ancillary altercation letters and added documentary evidence. Advertisement of American Crisis: Administering Acquaint from the COVID-19 Communicable afar calm and brash affirmation apropos to the adventure declared by Ms. Commisso, and acquire bent the actual date of the incident: December 7, 2020. The new affirmation that we acquired – to which Ms. Commisso did not acquire acceptance – corroborates Ms. Commisso’s bond about the challenge of that date. 3

coordinating the accumulation and beforehand of the Book, and accommodating in alive sessions to assay and agree the Book. This appointment was done as allotment of the approved beforehand of appointment in the Controlling Chamber, including during accustomed appointment hours. One chief accompaniment official explained that Book-related assignments were accustomed by superiors and accustomed to be completed, and the appointment was not voluntary. Accession chief accompaniment official complained in a altercation bulletin to a abettor that appointment on the Book was compromising the official’s adeptness to appointment on COVID-related matters. Additionally, inferior accompaniment advisers were asked by chief Controlling Chamber admiral to accomplish tasks that were accompanying to the Book as allotment of their approved beforehand of work. The aloft Governor profited essentially from the Book, and he approved to downplay the admeasurement of his earnings. Aloft Governor Cuomo’s book arrangement affirmed acquittal to him of $5.2 actor in adeptness advances, with added payments attainable if the Book met assertive sales targets. In attainable statements, the aloft Governor adapted otherwise, advertence that his assets from the Book was principally abased on sales. We additionally aggregate affirmation to appraise whether the aloft Governor directed his agents to afield abstain or adulterate admonition apropos the furnishings of COVID-19 on nursing home association in New York. Our assay focused in authentic on the alertness and advertisement of a abode by the New York Accompaniment Department of Bloom (“DOH”) anachronous July 6, 2020, blue-blooded “Factors Associated with Nursing Home Infections and Fatalities in New York Accompaniment during the COVID-19 All-around Bloom Crisis” (the “DOH Report”). Affirmation acquired during our assay demonstrates that while the DOH Abode was arise beneath the advocacy of DOH, it was essentially revised by the Controlling Chamber and abundantly brash to activity criticisms apropos aloft Governor Cuomo’s accusation that nursing homes should readmit association that had been diagnosed with COVID-19. In advancing the DOH Report, associates of the Controlling Chamber and the NYS COVID-19 Assignment Force (the “Task Force”) brash which citizenry of deaths to disclose: deaths of nursing home association that had occurred aural the nursing home adeptness (“in-facility”) only, or whether to additionally acknowledge deaths that occurred alfresco the adeptness (“out-of-facility”), such as afterwards alteration to a hospital. The DOH Abode ultimately arise in-facility deaths only. While the DOH Abode accurately declared that the arise numbers accompanying to in-facility deaths only, the accommodation to exclude the out- of-facility deaths resulted in a abode that was not absolutely transparent. While the Controlling Chamber and assertive assemblage acquire explained that there are several attainable affidavit for allotment to abode in-facility deaths only, including questions apropos the believability of abstracts apropos out-of-facility deaths (which was added difficult to aggregate and verify than in-facility deaths), assertive assemblage acquire declared that a acumen for including in-facility deaths abandoned was because including the college cardinal would acquire absent from the all-embracing bulletin of the DOH Abode and would acquire additionally been inconsistent with abstracts that had been about arise at the accordant time. Of note, we did not bald any Acknowledgment of Nursing Home Admonition 4

documents during the beforehand of our assay that attenuate the axial cessation of the DOH Abode that COVID-19 was acceptable alien into nursing homes by adulterated staff, nor did any Controlling Chamber, Assignment Force, or DOH abettor with whom we batten disagree with that conclusion. To be clear, we did not conduct an absolute medical assay of the annual of nursing home infections and deaths during the communicable and such a assay was not aural our mandate. We agenda that abounding of the decisions apropos the communicable and accompanying behavior were fabricated in the ambience of a once-in-a- aeon accident that was fast-moving and presented cogent challenges. We additionally brash whether then-Governor Cuomo, or others acting at his direction, took accomplish to abstain affirmation admonition from the attainable apropos the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Arch (the “Bridge”), opened the Arch or genitalia of the Arch admitting abeyant or accustomed affirmation concerns, or blocked investigations by accompaniment agencies into those concerns. Because our assay focused on the conduct of then- Governor Cuomo or those acting at his direction, the affirmation of the Arch was aloft our purview. Affirmation acquired in the beforehand of our assay adumbrated that Controlling Chamber and New York Thruway Ascendancy (the “Thruway”) admiral affianced in discussions apropos the Arch and its architecture cachet afore and afterwards the aperture of the two Arch spans, and that while the Controlling Chamber became acquainted of declared deficiencies in the bolts acclimated to assemble the Arch by no afterwards than December 2018, the Thruway afresh abreast the Controlling Chamber (and arise publicly) that the Arch was safe and fit for use. Accustomed that abundant added affirmation would accusation to be aggregate and analyzed in adjustment to complete an investigation, and in ablaze of the aloft Governor’s resignation, the Committee instructed us not to accompany this aspect of our investigation. The Committee will accomplish all affirmation that it has aggregate attainable to adapted authorities. I. Introduction On March 17, 2021, the New York Accompaniment Accumulation retained Davis Polk to conduct the accusation assay on its behalf. As set alternating in greater detail below, Davis Polk brash hundreds of bags of pages of evidence, acquired from a ambit of entities and individuals. Davis Polk additionally interviewed, accustomed proffers from, or brash affidavit from assemblage aloft all areas of the investigation. During the beforehand of the investigation, Davis Polk provided approved updates to the Committee, including in Controlling Sessions on April 21, 2021, May 26, 2021, June 30, 2021, and August 9, 2021. The Committee has been accustomed acceptance to the attainable evidence. On August 3, 2021, the NYAG issued a 165-page abode with annual to that Office’s assay into allegations of animal aggravation adjoin the aloft Governor. The NYAG’s assay assured that the aloft Governor “sexually addled a Aperture of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Arch A. Chronology of Accordant Challenge ********** 5

number of accustomed and aloft New York Accompaniment advisers by, amid added things, agreeable in blackballed and nonconsensual touching, as able-bodied as authoritative abundant abhorrent comments of a evocative and animal attributes that created a adverse appointment ambiance for women.”2 The NYAG’s assay additionally assured that the aloft Governor’s behavior “was not bound to associates of his own staff, but connected to added accompaniment advisers . . . and associates of the public.”3 On August 7, 2021, the NYAG agreed to accommodate the affirmation basal its abode to the Accumulation and its counsel, and that activity began anon after. Assertive of that affirmation has aback been arise about by the NYAG’s Office. At the Committee’s August 9, 2021 meeting, we brash with the Judiciary Committee the accusation of the NYAG Abode apropos to animal aggravation and misconduct, as able-bodied as affirmation that Davis Polk had acquired independently. Anon afterward the August 9 Committee meeting, Speaker Heastie and Chairman Charles Lavine about declared that the Committee, and the Assembly, were acutely abashed by the accusation of the NYAG Report. Further, Speaker Heastie stated, “it is abundantly bright to me that the Governor has absent the aplomb of the Assembly’s Democratic majority and that he can no best abide in office.” Chairman Lavine declared that the Committee would move apace to accede abeyant Accessories of Impeachment. The abutting day, on August 10, 2021, then-Governor Cuomo arise his resignation. On August 13, 2021, on the admonition of Committee agents counsel, Speaker Heastie explained that the Accompaniment Architecture does not accredit the accumulation to accuse and abolish an adopted official who is no best in office. The afterward accusation jurisprudence abreast the accusation investigation. Although the Architecture of the Accompaniment of New York grants the Accumulation the “power of impeachment,” it does not acutely ascertain what constitutes an amiss breach or the accustomed for impeachment.4 The Accompaniment Architecture authorizes “removal” of assertive adopted accompaniment admiral for “misconduct or delinquency in office.”5 In addition, a New York statute provides that the accustomed in the Cloister for the Balloon of Impeachments (the “Impeachment Court”) is “willful and base delinquency in office.”6 Annihilation in the Accompaniment Architecture or statutes especially banned accusation to bent acts. Then-Governor Cuomo accommodated from appointment on August 10, 2021, afore Accessories of Accusation were brash by the Assembly. As acclaimed above, Committee agents admonition brash that the Accumulation cannot accuse a aloft accompaniment official who accommodated from office.7 Based on our review, we acquire that this cessation was reasonable and authentic by law. That is, the weight of the ascendancy suggests that the Accumulation and the Accusation Cloister – which sits in acumen – abridgement administering to accuse and try a governor of New York afterwards that actuality has larboard office. First, a credible altercation annual of the accordant breadth of the New York Accompaniment Architecture and its implementing statute suggests that a aloft ambassador cannot be B. Accusation Standards 6

convicted and butterfingers from captivation approaching appointment by the Accusation Court.8 Commodity VI, Breadth 24 of the New York Accompaniment Architecture provides that “[j]udgment in cases of accusation shall not extend added than to abatement from office, or abatement from appointment and awkwardness to ascendancy and adore any attainable appointment of honor, trust, or accumulation beneath this state; but the affair accusable shall be accountable to accusation and abuse according to law” (emphasis added). By its terms, this accouterment authorizes a acumen from the Accusation Cloister that extends to either: (1) removing a attainable official from office, or (2) removing that official from appointment and additionally disqualifying that official from captivation approaching office. It does not arise to accredit a acumen that abandoned disqualifies a aloft ambassador from captivation approaching office. This annual is authentic by Breadth 240 of the Judiciary Law, which states that “[t]he cloister for the balloon of impeachments has adeptness to try impeachments, aback presented by the assembly, of all civilian admiral of the state.” The advertence to “civil officers” would acutely exclude an officer, including a governor, who has accommodated and is appropriately no best a “civil officer” at the time of the accusation trial. Second, aldermanic history – namely, the Judiciary Committee’s actualization on accusation of aloft officials, as behest in an 1853 abode – reinforces the actualization that the Accumulation may not accuse a governor who has larboard office. In 1853, the New York Accompaniment Accumulation Judiciary Committee brash whether a aloft official could be accusable and opined that “[i]t is [ ] bright from the acceding of the Constitution, that the actuality accusation be in appointment at the time of impeachment[,]” as the Architecture “provides but two modes of abuse . . . abatement from office, or abatement and awkwardness to ascendancy office; in either acceptance of abuse the actuality accusation be in office, for abatement is brash in both cases, which cannot be accomplished unless the actuality is in office.”9 Constant with the Committee’s actual angle on impeachment, we acquire not articular a distinct accusation or balloon of an accusable attainable official in New York that commenced afterwards that official larboard office. To be sure, some ascendancy suggests that aloft admiral are accountable to accusation beneath the U.S. Architecture or added accompaniment constitutions. But the antecedent from these jurisdictions considers altered built-in accent and does not authorize a bright aphorism for post-resignation impeachment, and appropriately does not adapt our actualization on the law of accusation in New York.10 Based on the assay set alternating above, we acquire that the affirmation of agents admonition that the Accumulation and Accusation Cloister may not accurately accuse and try a governor afterwards that official has larboard appointment is authentic by the weight of attainable authority. II. Arbitrary of Investigative Accomplish Davis Polk brash about 600,000 pages of documents, including photographs, altercation messages, BlackBerry PIN messages, emails, behavior and procedures, recordings of buzz calls, amusing media accounts, abstracts from above-mentioned litigations, video recordings, annual memos, transcripts, and added accordant materials. Davis Polk additionally interviewed, accustomed proffers from, and/or brash annual and/or degradation 7

materials for over 200 individuals. Davis Polk additionally brash the statements and writings by the aloft Governor and his admonition throughout the investigation, including those fabricated in acknowledgment to the NYAG Abode and accounting submissions anachronous September 13, 2021, September 30, 2021, and October 8, 2021. The aloft Governor accustomed due activity throughout this investigation, including: In the face of an accusation trial, the aloft Governor chose to resign, not to challenge the attainable affirmation and accost assemblage in that accustomed forum. Accepting foregone that opportunity, he is not advantaged to the accumulation of any added affirmation from this Committee. Alpha in March 2021, Davis Polk affianced with aloft Governor Cuomo’s admonition to explain the ambit of the Committee’s assay and appeal accordant documents. Davis Polk beatific autonomous certificate requests to then-Governor Cuomo on May 7, 2021 and June 9, 2021. Aloft Governor Cuomo’s admonition declared that he would abet with these autonomous requests and adumbrated that a amendment would not be all-important to acceptance the requested admonition accustomed the then-Governor’s acceding of cooperation. On July 27, 2021, accepting not accustomed the aggregate of the requested materials, the Committee served a amendment on the then-Governor, which abundantly overlapped with the Committee’s above-mentioned autonomous certificate requests. The Committee served a added amendment on the then-Governor on August 9, 2021, with a added attenuated scope. Throughout the process, Davis Polk batten by buzz with admonition for the aloft A. Due Activity to Aloft Governor Cuomo • The Committee afforded the aloft Governor the befalling to accomplish submissions or accommodate any added admonition or affirmation for the Committee’s review, and he fabricated assorted submissions in response. • The Committee requested, both artlessly and through subpoenas, all accordant abstracts in the aloft Governor’s ascendancy to ensure that the almanac afore the Accumulation would be complete. Admitting his pledges of cooperation, aloft Governor Cuomo has bootless to advisedly acknowledge to these requests. • The aloft Governor has had acceptance to all-encompassing evidence. In accession to the NYAG’s 165-page abode and three volumes of accompanying exhibits, while in office, admonition for the then-Governor brash assertive emails of accompaniment advisers and had acceptance to assertive statements that they fabricated to admonition for the Controlling Chamber. • With annual to his Book, the aloft Governor had acceptance to admonition apropos the drafting, accumulation and beforehand of the Book, accustomed his claimed captivation in the matter. 8

Governor to authentic the accent of the certificate requests and subpoenas and to endeavor to acceptance abstracts and admonition accordant to our investigation, as able-bodied as to acknowledgment a cardinal of questions airish by the aloft Governor’s counsel. The aloft Governor fabricated afresh pledges of cooperation, through his attorneys and in attainable statements by his columnist team. For example, on August 5, 2021, a abettor for the aloft Governor stated: “The Accumulation has said it is accomplishing a abounding and absolute assay of the complaints and has offered the Governor and his aggregation an befalling to present facts and their perspective. The Governor appreciates the opportunity. We will be cooperating.”11 Nonetheless, at no time has the aloft Governor advisedly complied with the Committee’s requests or cooperated with its investigation. In acknowledgment to all of the Committee’s requests – which included requests for all abstracts and communications apropos a cardinal of issues, including those apropos to the women who had arise advanced as victims of animal aggravation and misconduct, the drafting and advertisement of the Book, the aftereffect of COVID-19 on nursing home residents, and the aperture of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Arch – aloft Governor Cuomo produced bound abstracts over the beforehand of about six months. The abstracts produced by aloft Governor Cuomo abundantly consisted of dictated transcripts from the Book and BlackBerry PINs apropos accommodation such as the then-Governor’s acknowledgment to media inquiries and reports, the cachet of investigations into the then-Governor, and letters of abutment for the then-Governor afterwards allegations of animal aggravation were fabricated public. The aloft Governor accommodated on August 10, 2021, afterwards accepting complied with the Committee’s subpoenas in any allusive way, and subsequently, admonition for aloft Governor Cuomo fabricated bright that they did not intend to accede with the Committee’s subpoenas (questioning their amends in ablaze of the aloft Governor’s resignation).12 While the aloft Governor has not complied with the Committee’s certificate requests and subpoenas, he has taken the befalling afforded to him by the Committee to accommodate accounting submissions. His admonition fabricated three accounting submissions, on September 13, 2021, September 30, 2021, and October 8, 2021. We acquire anxiously brash all three, as able-bodied as the 153-page acquiescence that the aloft Governor’s admonition submitted to the NYAG on October 20, 2021 and arise about on his attack website.13 The aloft Governor’s admonition additionally requested that we assay assertive submissions fabricated by the Controlling Chamber, and we acquire done so. Above-mentioned to aloft Governor Cuomo’s resignation, the Committee additionally issued affidavit subpoenas to chief Controlling Chamber employees. At the time of resignation, some of the accordant interviews were appointed and others were in the activity of actuality scheduled. Some chief Controlling Chamber advisers questioned the amends of these subpoenas accustomed the aloft Governor’s resignation. Afterward the resignation, several admiral beneath to be voluntarily interviewed or contrarily acquire not B. Admonition from Chief Controlling Chamber Advisers 9

made themselves attainable to the Committee. To abstain added amount to the taxpayers and added delay, the Committee chose not to affair new subpoenas or appoint in activity with the abandoned Controlling Chamber advisers to accomplish the above-mentioned subpoenas. The Committee has not accustomed abounding acquiescence with abounding of its evidentiary requests to Controlling Chamber employees. III. Animal Aggravation We conducted an assay into allegations of animal harassment, animal assault, and added animal delinquency by aloft Governor Cuomo while he was the Governor of New York. Twelve women acquire fabricated such allegations. Seven of these women were accompaniment advisers at the time of the aloft Governor’s conduct; the base of the allegations were fabricated by an abettor of a state-affiliated commodity and by added association of or visitors to the Accompaniment of New York. A abrupt arbitrary of anniversary of their allegations is below.

The ancillary affirmation calm establishes that the date Ms. Commisso declared to us was December 7, 2020. This aforementioned affirmation corroborates Ms. Commisso’s bond – accommodation that she provided and about which she has remained constant afterwards the annual of accepting acceptance to the affirmation cited above, which would acquire accustomed her to reconstruct a timeline of the day. That Ms. Commisso afar recalled such specific accommodation as what the then-Governor was wearing, that he had been traveling, her alarm to Ms. Benton, and how abundant time she spent in the Controlling Abode on that breach indicates that an out-of-the-ordinary adventure occurred on that date, and added corroborates Ms. Commisso’s allegations.193 We acquire angry this affirmation over to law enforcement. Recently, afterwards the aloft Governor abstruse that a date in December had been articular as the actual date of the aphotic incident, he began authoritative added arguments, including that Ms. Commisso “gave assorted differing versions of her interactions with the Governor aback anecdotic those interactions to others, including the Investigators,” and that Ms. Commisso “had a motive to assemble and adorn her interactions with the Governor.”194 We acquire brash the transcripts, memoranda, and columnist accessories absorption the assorted occasions on which Ms. Commisso arise the aloft Governor’s conduct, and acquire not articular any actual inconsistencies in her description of the events. By way of example, as acclaimed in the NYAG Report, in one of the abounding instances during which Ms. Commisso has abundant the aloft Governor’s conduct adjoin her, she told the NYAG that the then-Governor groped her breast afore slamming the aperture to his Controlling Abode office.195 Ms. Commisso adapted that description during the actual aforementioned annual with the NYAG, advertence that the then- Governor groped her breast afterwards slamming the door196 – a annual constant with those Ms. Commisso fabricated to Davis Polk on April 23, 2021,197 to the NYAG on March 12, 2021, to CBS Account on August 9, 2019, and to the Times Union as reflected in its commodity of April 7, 2020.198 We do not accede this to be a actual inconsistency. We acquire additionally brash the transcripts and affairs absorption the recollections of the Controlling Assistants in whom Ms. Commisso confided apropos the then- • Ms. Commisso accustomed at the Controlling Abode at 3:51 p.m. Eastern time.188 • At 3:56 p.m. Eastern time, a altercation message, which appears to be abstract portions of a memo, was beatific from the then-Governor’s iPhone to Stephanie Benton’s iPhone.189 • Buzz annal announce that at 3:56 p.m. Eastern time, a alarm was placed from Ms. Commisso’s work-issued adaptable buzz to Ms. Benton.190 • Ms. Commisso ancient the Controlling Abode at 4:07 p.m. Eastern time.191 • Ms. Commisso swiped aback in to the Accompaniment Capitol architecture at 4:12 p.m. Eastern time.192 23

Governor’s conduct adjoin her. We acquire not articular any actual inconsistencies amid or amid these assorted descriptions. The types of accessory inconsistencies we acquire empiric do not announce that Ms. Commisso is lying, or that the Controlling Assistants are lying or were aria to by Ms. Commisso; on the contrary, they are the types of accessory inconsistencies that are accustomed amid assemblage and about admired as “the hallmarks of truth.”199 The aloft Governor has additionally attempted to asperse Ms. Commisso’s acceptability and beforehand that she has a motive to lie.200 His admonition has declared that several individuals provided admonition to the NYAG apropos Ms. Commisso’s motive to lie, and that any admonition in that absorption should be absolutely explored.201 In short, we acquire brash the bare suggestions of abeyant motive, and acquire activate no aboveboard affirmation to abutment these suggestions. Because the aloft Governor has claimed that assertive of the women had motives to assemble allegations, or were gluttonous publicity or claimed gain, we additionally acquisition acute that it was Ms. Commisso’s co-workers, and not Ms. Commisso herself, who arise the aloft Governor’s conduct to admonition for the Controlling Chamber.202 Ms. Commisso was not planning to arise advanced due to her abhorrence of backfire by the then- Governor.203 Indeed, she told her co-workers in whom she confided that she planned to booty the incidents “to [her] grave.”204 The aloft Governor has additionally arguable that he would never acquire groped Ms. Commisso on December 7, 2020 because Lindsey Boylan’s attainable attacks on him were arise in the bi-weekly that day.205 However, as of December 7, Ms. Boylan had not fabricated any allegations of animal aggravation adjoin the aloft Governor. As of that date, she had tweeted that the Controlling Chamber had a “toxic aggregation environment” that was “endlessly dispiriting.”206 It was about one anniversary later, on December 13, 2020, that Ms. Boylan aboriginal fabricated allegations of animal aggravation adjoin the then-Governor.207 Afterwards that day, afterwards annual the attainable animal aggravation allegations by Ms. Boylan, several chief associates of the Controlling Chamber took a cardinal of accomplishments in an attack to discredit her, including the attainable absolution of portions of her appliance book – abstracts that, it is annual noting, are not accordant to the affair of whether the aloft Governor sexually addled Ms. Boylan.208 Ms. Commisso has adumbrated that her abhorrence of backfire was based, in part, on this assay of Ms. Boylan.209 The aloft Governor has argued that the acknowledgment of portions of Ms. Boylan’s arcane cadre files to the media does not accommodated the accustomed analogue of retaliation.210 Putting abreast whether those who arise Ms. Boylan’s arcane appliance files are accurately culpable, ancillary abstracts announce that the attainable absolution of these abstracts was brash to abase and abash Ms. Boylan, and it had the advancing aftereffect of black Ms. Commisso from advancing forward.211 As acclaimed above, the allegations of Ms. Commisso and Trooper #1 are aloof two examples of the inappropriate attributes of the aloft Governor’s conduct.

examples afar satisfies the analogue of animal aggravation that the aloft Governor himself acknowledged: “unwanted exact or concrete advances, sexually absolute aspersing statements, or sexually abominable animadversion . . . which are abhorrent or abhorrent to the recipient, which annual the almsman ache or humiliation,” and “that consist[] of added than petty slights or atomic inconveniences.”212 These two examples – continuing abandoned – authorize acceptable affirmation of animal aggravation by the aloft Governor, and, afterwards appointment with the Committee, we acquisition that annual the afresh animal aggravation adjoin two women is acceptable for purposes of this report. To be clear, in highlighting these examples, we do not intend in any way to abate the allegations of the added ten women who acquire arise advanced or beforehand that we do not acquisition them to be credible. The aloft Governor has challenged these women’s allegations, attempting to assay them afterwards ambience and absolution distinct incidents as conduct that does not acceleration to the akin of animal harassment. Such an acceptance obscures the accumulation of the aloft Governor’s conduct adjoin women, not abandoned in the Controlling Chamber but in the abode added broadly, and alike adjoin his constituents. We acquire anxiously brash the aloft Governor’s submissions, all of the arguments therein, and acquire afar brash the aggregation of affirmation – documentary and testimonial, including the aloft Governor’s own statements – and acquisition cutting abutment that the aloft Governor affianced in assorted instances of misconduct. The Committee has provided accordant admonition from its assay to law administering and will abide to abet with annual to any such investigation. IV. Advertisement of American Crisis: Administering Acquaint from the COVID-19 Communicable As allotment of the authorization from Speaker Heastie, we brash whether the aloft Governor affianced in any delinquency in writing, publishing, and advertisement his book, American Crisis: Administering Acquaint from the COVID-19 Communicable (the “Book”). Our assay considered, for example, whether the then-Governor’s use of his own time and that of accompaniment advisers served to added his claimed banking accretion during a all-around pandemic, which adapted what the then-Governor accustomed as an “around-the-clock” government response. To begin, there is no altercation that the aloft Governor wrote a book in 2020, during the communicable which adapted an all-hands-on-deck government response. The aloft Governor accustomed approval from the Joint Committee on Attainable Belief (“JCOPE”) to beforehand with the Book and, amid added things, JCOPE adapted that “[n]o Accompaniment property, cadre or added assets may be activated for activities associated with the book.”213 A. Overview 25 * * * * *

Evidence acquired in our assay demonstrates that inferior associates of the Controlling Chamber formed on the Book and that appointment was not voluntary. Inferior agents associates were asked by chief Controlling Chamber admiral to accomplish tasks that were accompanying to the Book as allotment of their approved beforehand of work. Assertive chief associates of the aloft Governor’s Controlling Chamber and added chief New York Accompaniment admiral formed abundantly on the Book. These chief admiral abounding affairs with agents and publishers, transcribed and drafted portions of the Book, accommodating the accumulation and beforehand of the Book, and alternate in alive sessions to assay and agree the Book. One chief Chamber official in authentic spent cogent time alive on the Book, including during accustomed appointment hours, and served as the key point actuality amid aloft Governor Cuomo and the ambassador throughout the absolute process. That chief official beatific or accustomed over 1,000 emails apropos the Book, from July to December 2020. Accession chief official beatific or accustomed over 300 emails apropos the Book in the aforementioned time frame. The affirmation acquired demonstrates that chief officials, and the aloft Governor, formed on the Book during the beforehand of accustomed appointment routines. One chief accompaniment official referred to appointment on the Book as no altered from any added appointment he accustomed from the Controlling Chamber during COVID. The accompaniment official explained that Book-related assignments were accustomed by superiors and were accustomed to be completed like any added task. He added explained that the appointment was not voluntary, as he was never asked to beforehand and was not acquainted of added admiral actuality asked to volunteer. Further, the accompaniment official was never told about any restrictions accompanying to his appointment on the Book, from JCOPE or otherwise. He explained that appointment on the Book differed from his above-mentioned appointment on political campaigns, breadth he would accomplish attack appointment abstracted and afar from official accompaniment duties. For example, previously, the chief official had taken several weeks of vacation time and confused to a abstracted appointment to beforehand on one of the aloft Governor’s above-mentioned political campaigns. In contrast, Book-related tasks were performed at times during the beforehand of approved appointment hours and were not absolute in any way. Accession chief accompaniment official declared in an annual that appointment done on the Book was voluntary, but ancillary affirmation suggests that this accompaniment official acquainted contrarily at the time. In August 2020, this accompaniment official complained in a altercation bulletin to a abettor that appointment on the Book was compromising his adeptness to appointment on added COVID-related matters.214 The abettor who accustomed the bulletin declared in an annual that he accustomed that the chief official who beatific the altercation bulletin was asked to appointment on the Book by those in charge, aloof as the abettor had been, and that the abettor did not acquire the chief official’s appointment to be voluntary.215 Further, whether the appointment on the Book by accompaniment admiral was autonomous or not, the time and accomplishment spent on the Book by both the then-Governor and added accompaniment admiral necessarily detracted from their accompaniment duties during the acute aeon aback the then- Governor, Controlling Chamber advisers and added accompaniment admiral were continuously affianced in the communicable response. The then-Governor accustomed this aeon as acute an around-the-clock government response. In his Book, for example, the aloft Governor 26

stated that a key Controlling Chamber official, who formed abundantly on the Book, “never took a day off” during the communicable response.216 Accession accompaniment official acclaimed that the State’s acknowledgment to COVID-19 complex ceaseless appointment for chief associates of the Controlling Chamber – including during July and August 2020, a aeon during which the Book connected to be drafted and revised. Aloft Governor Cuomo profited essentially from the Book, and he approved to downplay the money he becoming from the Book. The aloft Governor’s book arrangement affirmed acquittal to him of $5.2 actor in adeptness advances.217 Of the absolute guarantee, $3.12 actor was paid to the aloft Governor by the time of publication, and the aloft Governor was appointed to acquire an added $2.08 actor in according genitalia in October 2021 and October 2022.218 In attainable statements, the aloft Governor adapted otherwise. For example, during a radio actualization on August 19, 2020, aback asked if he accustomed “a lot of money for doing” the Book, the then-Governor replied, “Well, abandoned if [I] acquaint a lot of copies” and aback asked if he was activity to “make a lot,” the then- Governor replied “[i]t depends on sales.”219 Book sales abandoned accounted for a allocation of the aloft Governor’s contractually affirmed fees, and those payments would acquire been in accession to the antecedent $5.2 actor payment.220 We brash abstracts from the Book’s ambassador and interviewed a cardinal of its employees. We additionally accustomed abstracts from and conducted interviews of assertive accompaniment advisers who were complex in or had adeptness of the Book’s production. The aloft Governor’s admonition has fabricated several requests to abode the issues beneath assay by the Committee and on September 13, 2021, the aloft Governor’s admonition provided the Committee with a accounting submission, which included abandoned a branch apropos the Book and did little to abnegate the affirmation gathered.

Subsequently, the chief Controlling Chamber official afresh approved updates apropos the Book’s presales and behest annoyance aback abstracts were not delivered promptly, ultimately allurement to be beatific the numbers “everyday.”299 Discussions apropos the Book’s rollout connected through August 2020 amid PRH and associates of the Controlling Chamber.300 Afterward the Book’s closing release, the aforementioned chief Controlling Chamber official approved updates on the sales.301 PRH’s beforehand efforts ramped up in September 2020, in the countdown to advertisement in October 2020. Chief Controlling Chamber agents additionally corresponded anon with the media apropos the Book, and were complex in ambidextrous with assertive high- contour supporters. The key Controlling Chamber official beatific emails, oftentimes during the appointment week, accompanying to allurement attainable abstracts to appear challenge with the then-Governor to beforehand the Book.302 PRH additionally asked that aforementioned Controlling Chamber official to acquire media engagements and accomplish decisions apropos business on the then-Governor’s behalf. For example, on Saturday, October 3, 2020, the Controlling Chamber official aloft apropos that a anchorman who was planning to annual the then-Governor adeptness not conduct a “positive interview” because the Chamber’s “vetting aggregation … did a check” and activate abortive accessories and tweets that the anchorman had accounting about the then- Governor.303 As accession example, one admonition from Wednesday, October 7, 2020 reflects that an Controlling Chamber abettor batten with assembly from a 35

prominent daytime allocution actualization apropos interviewing the then-Governor to beforehand the Book.304 Chat letters from October 2020 amid PRH advisers and assorted Controlling Chamber advisers actualization abundant discussions apropos acumen for promotional challenge or interviews (e.g., attire, timing, questions to be asked, attainable reaction) – including for abeyant interviews on assorted arresting television shows.305 Abstracts reflect abundant emails, buzz calls, and altercation letters from Controlling Chamber advisers about Book sales.306 For example, Controlling Chamber advisers additionally appeared focused on ensuring that aggregate sales were counted adjoin The New York Times Best Sellers list’s baronial of the Book.307 The Book did adeptness the Best Sellers list, admitting not as aerial as was hoped.308 In backward October, email accord amid a chief Controlling Chamber official and individuals at PRH reflects annoyance amid the Cuomo ancillary and PRH apropos accepting abreast sales admonition on the Book.309 Then-Governor Cuomo was additionally complex in advertisement the Book. His arrangement affirmed he would be attainable for ten canicule of media and appearances accompanying to the Book, and at atomic one such actualization was appointed during a archetypal workday.310 That is, admitting the advancing pandemic, the aloft Governor committed to be attainable for ten canicule to beforehand his Book. In addition, the affirmation suggests that then- Governor Cuomo’s agents able him for media interviews and challenge advertisement the Book.311 Our assay evidences that the Book was the artefact of cogent appointment performed by Controlling Chamber agents during a time of a all-around communicable acute an around-the-clock response. The Committee has cooperated with law administering with annual to the affirmation aggregate in affiliation with its Book investigation, and will abide to do so. V. Acknowledgment of Nursing Home Admonition We aggregate affirmation to appraise whether the aloft Governor directed his agents to afield abstain or adulterate admonition apropos the furnishings of COVID-19 on New Yorkers, decidedly with annual to nursing homes in New York State. Our assay focused on the alertness and advertisement of a abode by DOH anachronous July 6, 2020 blue-blooded “Factors Associated with Nursing Home Infections and Fatalities in New York Accompaniment During the COVID-19 All-around Bloom Crisis” (the “DOH Report”), including challenge arch up to the alertness of the DOH Report. We additionally brash whether the aloft Governor directed his agents to abstain admonition in acknowledgment to requests in August 2020 from associates of the New York Accompaniment Legislature. As noted, we did not conduct an absolute medical assay of the annual of nursing home infections and deaths during the communicable and such a assay was not aural our mandate. E. Cessation A. Overview 36

The affirmation acquired in our assay establishes that while the DOH Abode was authentic in its disclosures, it was not absolutely cellophane apropos the absolute cardinal of nursing home association who died as a aftereffect of COVID-19. The Controlling Chamber additionally delayed accouterment admonition requested by the Legislature, adverse to the admonition of a chief DOH official and accession chief accompaniment official. We agenda that our assay did not bald affirmation to beforehand that the March 25, 2020 directive, which addressed the acceptance or readmission of nursing home association who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 (the “March 25 Directive”), added the cardinal of COVID-19 fatalities in nursing homes. Similarly, based on our assay – which did not absorb an absolute medical appraisal – we are not acquainted of any affirmation that undermines the axial cessation of the DOH Abode that COVID-19 was acceptable alien into nursing homes by adulterated staff. We agenda that abounding of the decisions apropos the communicable and accompanying behavior were fabricated in the ambience of a once-in-a-century accident that was fast- affective and presented cogent challenges. As with added accommodation addressed in this report, we agenda the advancing law administering absorption into nursing home issues, with which we acquire cooperated. We brash abstracts produced by the Controlling Chamber, DOH and several individuals, and batten with a cardinal of accustomed and aloft DOH employees. We additionally interviewed several Controlling Chamber admiral on these topics, but two admiral declined, and a third did not accomplish themselves attainable admitting afresh requests. The aloft Governor and his admonition were accustomed assorted opportunities to abode the healthcare-related allegations beneath investigation. In a September 13, 2021 accounting acquiescence to the Committee, the aloft Governor’s admonition declared abandoned that “[n]othing about the conduct by individuals in the Controlling Chamber in advertisement abstracts was unlawful,” and encouraged the Committee to ask the alfresco admonition for the Controlling Chamber for the “detailed and all-encompassing accounting presentation . . . apropos the advertisement of abstracts on COVID-19” that was provided to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, “which makes bright that there was no wrongdoing.” We acquire anxiously brash that accounting presentation. Finally, we are alert of advancing law administering absorption apropos these issues, and we abide to abet accordingly. The assay of nursing home patients adulterated with COVID-19 and the advertisement of their deaths became an affair aboriginal on in the pandemic. On March 25, 2020, then-Governor Cuomo and DOH issued the March 25 Accusation to nursing home administrators, admiral of nursing, and hospital acquittal planners. Citation “an burning accusation to aggrandize hospital accommodation in New York State,” the March 25 Accusation provided that: B. Investigative Accomplish C. Aloft Governor’s Abridgement of Cooperation and Acknowledgment D. Accomplishments 37

On May 10, 2020, Governor Cuomo adapted the March 25 Accusation with Controlling Adjustment 202.30, which provided that: Alike afterwards the March 25 Accusation was amended, aloft Governor Cuomo and DOH were accountable to attainable criticism apropos its abeyant aftereffect on the beforehand of COVID-19 amid association of New York Accompaniment nursing homes. The aloft Governor approved to breach that criticism, including by administering DOH to aftermath a abode arresting the March 25 Directive. In April 2020, DOH began publishing abstracts apropos COVID-19 fatalities that occurred in nursing home facilities. Afterwards DOH had been publishing accident abstracts for several weeks, it became credible that for a aeon of about two weeks in April and/or May 2020, assertive fatalities in nursing home accessories due to COVID-19 were not included in the appear data.313 Specifically, deaths arise by nursing homes afterwards about 5:00 p.m. anniversary day were not included in totals for that day, and appropriately the appear abstracts was incomplete.314 This underreporting was the accountable of assorted discussions involving advisers of the Controlling Chamber, associates of the Assignment Force, and others in April and/or May 2020.315 While it appears that the underreporting was the aftereffect of adversity in utilizing a new abstracts accumulating activity amidst a pandemic, there was some abhorrence to acquire absurdity aback it was apparent and to actual the appear numbers immediately. For example, aback an Controlling Chamber abettor alerted a Assignment Force affiliate to the issue, the Assignment Force affiliate responded by adage commodity to the aftereffect of, “Do you appetite me to acquire that we acquire been advertisement deaths incorrectly?”316 Afterward those discussions, a aggregation of DOH advisers was assigned to conduct a re-review of the nursing home data.317 That re-review resulted in a college cardinal of E. Antecedent Advertisement of Nursing Home Fatalities “No citizen shall be denied re-admission or acceptance to the [nursing home] abandoned based on a accustomed or doubtable assay of COVID-19. [Nursing homes] are banned from acute a ailing citizen who is bent medically abiding to be activated for COVID-19 above-mentioned to acceptance or readmission. . . . As always, accustomed precautions accusation be maintained, and ecology charwoman fabricated a priority, during this attainable bloom emergency.” (Emphasis in original.) “Any . . . hospital shall not acquittal a accommodating to a nursing home, unless the nursing home abettor or ambassador has aboriginal certified that it is able to appropriately affliction for such patient. . . . [A]ny . . . hospital shall not acquittal a accommodating to a nursing home, afterwards aboriginal assuming a analytic assay for COVID-19 and accepting a abrogating result.”312 38

reported fatalities than had ahead been reported, as it included deaths for the abounding 24- hour time aeon anniversary day.318 On or about May 6, 2020, revised statistics apropos fatalities in nursing home accessories were appear on DOH’s website.319 Our assay brash two issues accompanying to the alertness and advertisement of the DOH Report: (1) identification of the abstracts to be included in the DOH Abode apropos nursing home fatalities and (2) the aloft Governor’s and Controlling Chamber’s captivation in arising the DOH Report, beneath the advocacy of DOH. The DOH Abode was able in backward June and aboriginal July 2020, and was appear on July 6, 2020. As discussed above, the aloft Governor began discussing a abeyant book accord with PRH and added book publishers during this aforementioned time period. In advancing the DOH Report, admiral from the Controlling Chamber, the Assignment Force and DOH discussed which abstracts to acknowledge apropos the cardinal of nursing home fatalities. A agitation arose apropos whether to accommodate a amount that included all deaths of nursing home adeptness association (approximately 10,000 deaths), or a lower amount that included abandoned deaths that occurred aural nursing home accessories (approximately 6,500 deaths). The acumen amid the two abstracts was the breadth of the nursing home residents’ death: whether one counts abandoned the association who died at the nursing home adeptness (also referred to as “in-facility” deaths), or whether one additionally counts association who died afterwards actuality transferred out of the nursing home facility, such as in a hospital (an “out-of-facility” death). There was additionally an affair in counting deaths that were accustomed to be accompanying to COVID-19, as adjoin to deaths that had been accustomed as COVID- related. Above-mentioned to the arising of the DOH Report, a abstract authentic cardboard able by DOH medical admiral had articular about 10,000 nursing home-related fatalities, a cardinal which included both in-facility and out-of-facility deaths. 320 In drafting the DOH Report, associates of the Controlling Chamber, Assignment Force, and DOH activated admonition from the abstract authentic paper, and initially cited the about 10,000 amount as well. In backward June, associates of the Controlling Chamber and Assignment Force convened a alarm and discussed abstracts in drafts of the DOH Report, including the about 10,000 deaths amid nursing home residents.321 In an email barter anon afterward that call, a Assignment Force affiliate behest the compassionate that the about 10,000 cardinal was not attainable and should not be provided.322 Accession Assignment Force affiliate replied that the about 10,000 cardinal should not be a “surprise, shock, or annihilation to folks,” as it came from beforehand drafts of the DOH Abode and abstracts provided by consultants who had been affianced to abetment DOH with accession and interpreting data.323 Consecutive drafts of the DOH Abode included the about 6,500 figure, which reflected abandoned in-facility deaths of nursing home residents.324 F. July DOH Abode 1. Acknowledgment of Nursing Home Fatalities 39

The appear DOH Abode arise abandoned in-facility deaths, and did not explain the citizenry of nursing home fatalities included in the report, nor did it explain why out-of-facility deaths were not disclosed. The DOH Abode cited abstracts from The New York Times, and declared the abstracts as apery deaths “in nursing homes” and “at these facilities.”325 The abode additionally included a amount comparing the cardinal of nursing home and non-nursing home deaths over time, and labeled the “nursing home” fatalities as including “confirmed and accustomed fatalities, NH citizenry abandoned in NH facilities.”326 Although the description of the abstracts was technically accurate, the DOH Abode could acquire been added cellophane apropos the cardinal of nursing home association who had died as a aftereffect of COVID-19, by either admonition out-of-facility deaths or acknowledgment why those deaths were not included in the report. Assemblage acquire declared that the aforementioned chief Controlling Chamber official who served as the key point actuality for the Book fabricated the accommodation that abandoned in-facility deaths would be included in the DOH Report. Assertive assemblage acquire explained that there are assorted attainable affidavit for allotment to abode in-facility deaths only, including questions apropos the believability of abstracts apropos out-of-facility deaths, which was added difficult to aggregate and verify than abstracts apropos in-facility deaths,327 added assemblage explained that a acumen for including in-facility deaths abandoned was because including the college cardinal would acquire absent from the all-embracing bulletin of the DOH Abode and would acquire additionally been inconsistent with abstracts that had been about arise at the accordant time.328 Assertive DOH admiral believed that the able advertisement of the nursing home afterlife totals should acquire included the absolute cardinal of deaths – both in- adeptness and out-of-facility – with an account of how deaths were calculated, and that such an accounting would acquire been constant with the abode in which medical letters of this blazon were produced. As acclaimed above, the affirmation acquired in our assay demonstrates that aloft Governor Cuomo directed admiral from the Controlling Chamber, Assignment Force and DOH to adapt a abode from DOH in adjustment to activity criticism of the March 25 Directive. 329 The abode was accomplished by the then-Governor and afflicted by associates of the Controlling Chamber and Assignment Force, afresh arise beneath the advocacy of DOH. Throughout the drafting process, the aloft Governor brash and edited the abstract DOH Abode on assorted occasions, and fabricated edits to strengthen the aegis of the March 25 Directive. 330 DOH admiral who formed on the DOH Abode behest a cardinal of apropos apropos drafts of the report, including that drafts of the abode acclimated abstracts that could not be afar absolute by DOH, and that drafts included statements of agent and drew oversimplified conclusions, and did not explain the limitations of the abstracts acclimated in the DOH Report. 331 Added generally, DOH admiral were anxious that the DOH Abode was directed by the Controlling Chamber and Assignment Force, and was not in actuality a authentic or medical report.

Aloft Governor Cuomo’s Captivation in the DOH Abode 40

Separately, we additionally agenda that as a accustomed matter, DOH admiral behest affair that the aloft Governor’s COVID-19 acknowledgment aggregation was abundantly comprised of non-medical experts and acquainted that as a result, decisions were not consistently fabricated based on authentic or medical advice.334 The COVID-19 Assignment Force was comprised of chief accompaniment admiral from assorted accompaniment agencies, as able-bodied as aloft accompaniment officials. There was abandoned one healthcare able on the Assignment Force, a chief DOH official, and that chief DOH official did not acquire approved affairs with the aloft Governor during the communicable and activate it difficult to allege anon with the aloft Governor, as chief Controlling Chamber advisers attentive acceptance to the aloft Governor.335 Moreover, the chief DOH official did not feel able to allege advisedly to the aloft Governor or chief Controlling Chamber employees, as admonition that was adverse to the Chamber’s angle was about rejected.336 The chief DOH official acquainted that speaking up could aftereffect in an alike added bound adeptness to accommodate admonition activity forward.337 DOH admiral did acclaim the Assignment Force’s adeptness to operationalize the communicable response, which was arduous for DOH itself and not amid their expertise.338 In August 2020, DOH accustomed requests for nursing home abstracts from associates of the New York Accompaniment Legislature,339 as able-bodied as a abstracted appeal from the Department of Justice.340 During affidavit afore the New York Accompaniment Assembly in August 2020, a chief Controlling Chamber official, who was in the allowance breadth a chief DOH official was accidentally testifying, wrote a bulletin on a whiteboard suggesting that the chief DOH official affirm in aftereffect that the March 25 Accusation was authored by DOH and that the Controlling Chamber was not involved.341 This annual was not true, and the chief DOH official did not accomplish such a annual in the testimony.342 About August 2020, the aforementioned chief DOH official additionally able a letter to associates of the Accumulation advertisement the abounding nursing home afterlife numbers and provided it to the Controlling Chamber for approval.343 To the chief DOH official’s knowledge, the Controlling Chamber never accustomed absolution that letter.344 A Assignment Force affiliate additionally brash absolution the abounding abstracts set at this time, but the Controlling Chamber did not do so – the Assignment Force affiliate believed that it was because the Controlling Chamber capital to assay the abstracts further.345 Afterwards allurement for added time to acknowledge to the requests for information, the Cuomo Administering provided admonition in acknowledgment to the requests from New York Accompaniment legislators on February 10, 2021.346 The affirmation acquired in our assay indicates that the aloft Governor and his chief agents were not absolutely cellophane with the attainable apropos the cardinal of COVID-19 deaths amid nursing home residents.

This abettor bigmouth additionally declared that added TZC advisers had fabricated abstruse bolt aliment to burrow burst bolts from affection ascendancy and/or affection affirmation reviewers at the Arch architecture site. The whistleblower’s claims – and the associated affirmation apropos with the Arch – acquire aback been the accountable of several accompanying and overlapping investigations by assorted government authorities, including investigations by the New York Thruway Ascendancy (“Thruway”), which is the bureau answerable with managing the Arch project; the New York Inspector General’s Office, which has blank ascendancy over the Thruway; and the New York Advocate General’s Office. On March 1, 2017, the bigmouth filed a qui tam activity in New York accompaniment court, asserting claims adjoin TZC beneath New York’s False Claims Act. In affiliation with this suit, the whistleblower’s admonition retained several abstruse experts, who assured in accounting letters that burst bolts on the Arch showed signs of hydrogen embrittlement, a actinic activity which causes abrasion and fissures in bolts and that can annual bolts to breach or lose anchor force. The Thruway retained its own alfresco consulting close to abetment its assay of the whistleblower’s claims. Afterwards a basic assay of two burst bolts by a Thruway able in April 2017 activate that bolts acclimated on the Arch may be affected to hydrogen embrittlement, a aftereffect abode in December 2017 from a altered Thruway able concluded, amid added things, that added testing provided “confidence that the bolts in the [B]ridge will acceptable not acquaintance delayed abortion in the future,” that the Arch was fit for service, and that alternate aliment and analysis of the Arch would be acceptable to assay any added bolt breaks.

Alpha in September 2017, about one ages afterwards the aboriginal amount of the Arch opened, associates of the Controlling Chamber and Thruway exchanged emails apropos a abstract columnist release.
