Subpoenas issued in investigation of groping allegation against Cuomo
ALBANY — Law enforcement officials are issuing subpoenas to gather records in an ongoing investigation of allegations that former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo groped a female aide's breast at the Executive Mansion in November.
The allegation that the governor had groped the woman, Brittany Commisso, became a focus of the state attorney general's investigation that concluded Cuomo had sexually harassed, touched or acted inappropriately with 11 women.
Sources close to the investigation said that Commisso met with Albany County sheriff's investigators for a second time on Monday for a formal interview about her allegations. The subpoenas will be used to gather any documentary evidence, including material related to Commisso's claim that on the day of the alleged encounter she had helped the governor text a note from his iPhone to Stephanie Benton, one of his stop assistants.
Sheriff Craig Apple confirmed that Commisso met with investigators on Monday, along with a representative of the Albany County district attorney's office. He declined further comment.
