The new allegations were published Saturday by the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal , and follow two former Cuomo aides accusing the governor of sexual harassment, and a third woman coming forward who said Cuomo grabbed and kissed her at a wedding they both attended. On Wednesday, Cuomo attempted to offer a blanket apology for making any women uncomfortable with his behavior, but denied touching anyone inappropriately and refused to resign over the growing scandal. Below is an overview of the new allegations that came to light on Saturday.

Another Former Aide Accuses Gov. Andrew Cuomo of Inappropriate Behavior
Another woman who previously worked for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) has come forward to accuse him of exhibiting conduct inappropriate in the workplace. Thirty-five-year-old Ana Liss said in an interview published Saturday when she was a policy aide for the governor between 2013 and 2015, he allegedly called her “sweetheart,” kissed her hand once, and asked personal questions such as if she had a boyfriend, the Associated Press (AP) reported . Liss also claimed he sometimes greeted her with a hug and kiss on both cheeks. Although she initially viewed his alleged behavior as harmless, it increasingly bothered her and felt patronizing. “It’s not appropriate, really, in any setting,” she explained. “I wish that he took me seriously.” However, Liss said she never made a formal complaint about the governor’s alleged behavior.

U.S. gives hope to previously denied asylum seekers in camp
MEXICO CITY — In a camp at the U.S.-Mexico border, some asylum seekers were told by officials that the U.S. government may reopen their cases and they would eventually be able to enter the U.S. to wait out the asylum process. The new opening for people previously denied came as Mexican authorities worked to close the improvised camp along the banks of the Rio Grande, across from Brownsville, Texas, that has housed thousands of asylum seekers over the more than two years it existed. Late Friday night, an official with Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said via Twitter that the last asylum seekers with active cases from the camp had been processed and the camp was closed. Others with closed asylum cases who were told their cases could be reopened were urged to move to a shelter. But about 50 had still remained in the camp on Saturday until they were finally moved to a shelter and the camp closed later in the day.
