A legislative investigation has found “overwhelming evidence” that former New York governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed women and that he ordered state workers to help produce his book on pandemic leadership during work hours.

The report also found that Mr Cuomo’s staff “substantially revised” a state health department report on Covid-19 deaths in nursing homes to exclude statistics that might have dimmed his reputation as a pandemic leader.
