Summary

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is on his way out. He announced his resignation last Tuesday in the wake of the New York Attorney General's report, detailing allegations of sexual harassment from 11 women against the governor. While the shocking decision may prevent him from being kicked out of office, it won't necessarily end his political and legal troubles. Earlier this week on the FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony spoke to former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) about what legal battles Andrew Cuomo may soon face and what his resignation means for the future of New York. McCarthy explained why Gov. Cuomo could face serious legal battles both in criminal and civil court. Rep. Zeldin, who is also New York Gubernatorial candidate, discussed how the former Democratic star lost all his political allies and how his exit is so consequential for both local and national politics. Our original conversations were too long and we could not include everything both Andrew McCarthy and Rep. Lee Zeldin had to say about Gov. Cuomo's historic resignation. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear both interviews in their entirety. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
