The Department of Justice and state Attorney General’s office have launched probes of such allegations, while the state Assembly judiciary committee’s separate investigation is also considering whether there are grounds to impeach Cuomo. When asked Wednesday if he is using campaign or personal funds to pay for any lawyers, Cuomo said: “Not at this time.” “The way it works is the executive chamber has retained a counsel,” Cuomo said at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. “And that is a state expense. It has been in every investigation. So that’s where we are now.” It’s unknown how much taxpayers will end up paying in all for legal costs stemming from wide-ranging allegations against Cuomo.
