Photo: Jeenah Moon/Getty Images Several more women have come forward to accuse New York governor Andrew Cuomo of inappropriate conduct — including two publicly — while other former aides claim that Cuomo fostered a toxic work environment with his often emotionally abusive behavior toward staff. 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.

Harry, Meghan and the power of their story
Sign up to get our new weekly column as a newsletter. We're looking back at the strongest, smartest opinion takes of the week from CNN and other outlets. (CNN) Among journalists in Queen Victoria's England, Walter Bagehot was a central figure. Not only did he marry well -- to the daughter of the Economist's founder, whose death installed Bagehot in the editor's chair -- he also wrote a classic study of British government, "The English Constitution."

Whatever magic is left in the House of Windsor today, after "The Crown," may not survive Sunday night's airing of Oprah Winfrey's interview with Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan told … [Read more...] about Harry, Meghan and the power of their story

But even before the women came forward with their accusations, Cuomo’s support in the Democratic-dominated legislature was slipping, after a senior official confessed to top-ranking members that the administration had lied about the number of people living in nursing homes who had died of COVID-19. In a startling call in early February, Melissa DeRosa, Cuomo’s most senior adviser, told legislative committee chairs that the administration had balked at turning over the nursing home data after the federal Department of Justice (DOJ) requested it.
