A group of New York legislators said they’re submitting an impeachment petition because of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his alleged sexual harassment.

“We’re going to introduce this resolution because we believe the time has come. In order to lead this great state as governor, you need to have credibility and trust. And, unfortunately, we feel the governor has lost that, and now has an inability to lead,” Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay, a Republican, told a press conference in Albany on March 8.
