Lawmakers in the New York state Assembly on Tuesday began reviewing documents gathered by investigators for Attorney General Letitia James' office, as well as those hired by the Legislature as the probe into Gov. Andrew Cuomo's controversies this year continues. 

The review of the documents this week by lawmakers comes a day after Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie announced the investigation into the governor by the Judiciary Committee would continue after initially suspending the effort on Friday, days after Cuomo's announced resignation. Heastie also pledged the committee would release a report on its findings. 

Cuomo is set to leave office next Tuesday after his administration became engulfed by a sexual harassment scandal and a report from James' office this month found he sexually harassed 11 women. 

"Today what we're going to do and for the rest of this week is have the opportunity to actually go into a room being guarded by the sergeant at arms and have an opportunity to look at evidence brought together by the attorney general, as well as some of the evidence investigators from our own committee have acquired," said Assemblywoman Marjorie Byrnes, a Republican who sits on the Judiciary Committee, in a video statement. 

Assemblyman Michael Montesano in a Capital Tonight interview on Monday said the committee has received information that shows violations of the public officers' law as part of the investigation. 

The committee since March has been probing the sexual harassment allegations, as well as controversies surrounding the governor's use of state resources to help him write a book about the pandemic, as well as the reporting of nursing home deaths during the pandemic by his administration.  

It's not yet clear when the Assembly's report will be issued. 

"If this material is never released to the public like the attorney general's report was, then the people in the state and my district will never know the truth," Byrnes said.
