Time’s Up Chairwoman Resigns Amid Backlash Over Role Advising Cuomo

New York governor Andrew Cuomo is on the brink of being impeached by the state legislature and, if he doesn't resign first, he could lose the job he has held for a decade.

FILE - New York's Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul attended a May Day pro-labor and immigration rights rally, May 1, 2018, in New York. Gov. Andrew Cuomo faces possible impeachment following findings from an independent investigation overseen by state Attorney General Letitia James. If the governor resigns or is impeached, Hochul stands poised to become New York's first female governor in a state whose last three male governors have been marred by scandal.
An investigation by state attorney general Letitia James concluded that Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women and violated federal and state workplace laws against harassment and retaliation. Criminal have investigations since, separately, got under way.

If Cuomo is impeached, it will be only the second time in New York state history. Governor William Sulzer was impeached less than a year into office in 1913 and ousted, accused of financial impropriety and perjury, while he blamed a political conspiracy against him.
