The Albany County sheriff said he has a “solid case” against former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who was charged with a misdemeanor sex crime two months after resigning from office.
“We have an overwhelming amount of evidence,” Sheriff Craig Apple said at a press conference on Friday. Apple said his office had conducted a “methodical” investigation over almost four months, including search warrants, data collection, numerous witness interviews and the review of thousands of documents.
