New York Governor Andrew Cuomo wants voters to wait for investigations he says will disprove sexual misconduct claims that have prompted calls for his ouster. In Corporate America, where the Me Too movement has felled executives at hundreds of public companies in recent years, he would be less likely to get the same leeway.
The three-term governor has defied calls to resign from Albany and Washington, flatly denying on Friday the sexual-harassment allegations that began in December. Seven women, many who worked for him, have accused him of impropriety.
