Former President Donald Trump expressed his support for New York Mayor Eric Adams and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo as the pair face new lawsuits from women alleging sexual misconduct - in Adams' case, a claim that dates back decades.
Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 amid allegations that he sexually harassed nearly a dozen women, faces a lawsuit from a former aide whose criminal case was dropped by Albany County prosecutors. Adams was sued by a woman accusing him of sexually assaulting her in 1993. The mayor, through a spokesperson, denied knowing the plaintiff, whose name was being withheld by POLITICO.
Trump has faced several allegations of sexual misconduct over the years. A New York jury earlier this year found Trump liable for battery and defamation after the writer E. Jean Carroll accused him of assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996. The jury awarded Carroll $5 million.
