New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation on Tuesday, bowing to pressure to leave office or face impeachment in the face of a number of sexual-harassment allegations.
Cuomo said in an appearance in New York City that he would leave office in 14 days and Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul would take over. He maintained that he didn’t harass anyone but was "thoughtless” in the way he spoke to and touched women on his staff.
"In my mind, I’ve never crossed the line with anyone,” said Cuomo, 63. "But I didn’t realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn."
