Cuomo's office initially planned to choose its own investigator, but then backtracked amid a backlash from fellow Democrats.

Cuomo, one of the nation's most well known Democratic politicians whose popularity soared during the early months of the pandemic, has been accused in the past week by two former aides of sexual misconduct.

庫莫是全美最知名的民主黨政客之一，其人氣在疫情初期飆升，但在過去一週，他被兩名前助手指控性行為不當。

In a report published Saturday in The New York Times, one woman said Cuomo asked her about her sex life, whether she was monogamous and if she'd ever had sex with older men.

在《紐約時報》週六發表的一篇報道中，一位女性說，庫默問她關於她的性生活，她是否是一夫一妻制，以及她是否曾與老年男子發生過性關係。

That account came days after another former aide wrote in online essay, saying the governor had sent her roses for Valentine's Day and kissed her on the mouth.

這個說法是在另一位前助手在網上文章中寫道，說州長曾在情人節送她玫瑰花，並親吻了她的嘴之後幾天。

Cuomo denied making any sexual advances and late on Sunday put out a statement saying he never intended to offend anyone or cause harm.

庫莫否認進行任何性挑逗，並在週日晚些時候發表聲明，稱他從未打算冒犯任何人或造成傷害。
