New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was hit with a state ethics complaint by a watchdog group over the role of his campaign organization in promoting his recent book, a claim that the state Assembly said it would investigate as part of an expanded impeachment probe of the embattled Democrat.
The book about Cuomo’s handling of the pandemic crisis, released in October, was promoted by his campaign committee on social media and in emails sent to supporters, which included a link to the book on Amazon, according to a complaint filed Thursday with the enforcement division of the New York State Board of Elections by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
