“Laurie Berke-Weiss, a labor and employment lawyer who handles sexual harassment cases, said the investigation should include talking to the accusers, people they spoke with at the time of the incident and any witnesses inside the governor’s office. The inquiry, she said, could even lead investigators to interview Cuomo himself.

“It really has to be extremely thorough,” she said.”
