Andrew Cuomo has initiated a defamation lawsuit against Charlotte Bennett, alleging that she made false defamatory statements about him even after she dropped her federal lawsuit. Cuomo argues that Bennett’s actions and her attorney’s statements were malicious, aimed at harming his reputation following an investigative report that accused him of misconduct. The suit claims the previous accusations have not stood in court. Concurrently, Bennett reached a settlement with New York for $450,000 related to her claims, further complicating the narrative around Cuomo's defamation claims.
Bennett reposted her agents' tweet, which has garnered more than 90,000 views, was false and defamatory, and Bennett made it knowing full well that it was false and intending to cause harm to Governor Cuomo.
Despite Bennett's gamesmanship in withdrawing her federal lawsuit before she was required to admit under oath that she had lied about her interactions with Governor Cuomo.
