A fundraiser for former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's mayoral campaign has sparked controversy as it is hosted by lawyers who previously defended him using taxpayer money. The law firm Morvillo Abramowitz received $2.79 million for handling the COVID-19 related probes, while Cuomo's legal representatives, Rita Glavin and Theresa Trzaskoma, have collectively pocketed over $12 million from taxpayer funds defending against sexual harassment claims. Critics, including #MeToo advocates, argue the fundraiser is insulting to victims and a misuse of public funds, illustrating a troubling cycle of financial exploitation between Cuomo and the legal representation he engaged.
This adds insult to injury to the women who continue to be harassed and retaliated against with his lawfare defense tactics.
It's the recycling of funds from the taxpayers to the lawyers and back to Andrew Cuomo. It's appalling.
