Cuomo’s top aide resigns in wake of report finding he sexually harassed 11 women

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa, has told the media she resigned from her role. She sent a statement to news organizations Sunday night, about a week after a state attorney general report found the governor had sexually harassed 11 women. DeRosa joined Cuomo’s administration in 2013, eventually becoming one of the governor’s most trusted confidantes. She became his top aide in 2017. DeRosa said in her statement “the past two years have been emotionally and mentally trying.”
