The state Assembly Judiciary Committee, which has been considering whether it had enough evidence to proceed with impeachment of the three-term Democrat, is scheduled to meet on Aug. 16 to discuss “what, if any, role there is anymore,” committee member David Weprin, a Democrat, said in an interview.

On Monday, committee Chairman Charles Lavine said an impeachment would be “moot” if Cuomo were to resign before their investigation drew to a close. “But, there would be the opportunity in the court of impeachment to prohibit him from ever occupying statewide office,” he had said…

Republican committee members Mary Beth Walsh and Keith P. Brown both urged the Assembly to continue its investigation. Democratic committee members Tom Abinanti and Phil Steck said they’re waiting to hear a determination from Davis Polk & Wardwell, the law firm representing the committee.

“We cannot allow resignation to be the end of this story,” Brown said in a statement.
