Andrew Cuomo shows pictures of him kissing and touching 'men and women' to ...

Andrew Cuomo unveiled a photo montage on Tuesday showing him hugging and kissing numerous public figures including Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Al Sharpton - which the New York governor says is proof that he didn’t sexually harass women.

'I've been making the same public gesture all my life. I actually learnt it from my mother and my father,' a defiant Cuomo said on Tuesday, referring to the late New York Governor Mario Cuomo and his widow, Matilda Cuomo.

Andrew Cuomo said that while he ‘accepts responsibility,’ he made no hint of planning to resign, as is being demanded by top Democratic Party leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

State Attorney General Letitia James announced the findings of her investigation into claims Cuomo harassed more than 10 women.

The probe found that the Democratic governor sexually harassed multiple women in and out of state government and worked to retaliate against one of his accusers.

The finding quickly renewed calls for the Democrat's resignation or impeachment.

Cuomo remained defiant on Tuesday following the investigation's findings, saying that ‘the facts are much different than what has been portrayed’ and appearing to reject calls to resign.

The nearly five-month investigation found that Cuomo's administration was a ‘hostile work environment’ and was ‘rife with fear and intimidation.’

The probe, conducted by two outside lawyers, involved interviews with 179 people including Cuomo's accusers, current and former administration employees and the governor himself.

In response to James’ news conference, Cuomo released a videotaped statement in which he denied the allegations.

The governor specifically mentioned the allegations brought forward by Anna Ruch.

Ruch was a guest at a wedding, as was the governor, in 2019 when she says he put his hands on a section of her back that was exposed by a cut-out in her dress.

She grabbed his wrist to move it away and he responded by saying 'wow, you're aggressive,' according to the report.

Cuomo then grabbed her face with both of his hands and said 'can I kiss you?'

He was pictured kissing her cheek.

Ruch, 33, told The New York Times earlier this year that she met Cuomo at a wedding in September 2019.

The governor, now 63, had given a toast to the newlyweds, and Ruch, a former member of the Obama administration and the 2020 Biden campaign, thanked him for his words.

She claimed that he then touched her naked back, and she removed his hand.

He said she was 'aggressive', then cupped her face in his hands and asked: 'Can I kiss you?'

A photographer captured the moment, with Ruch looking distressed and taken aback, while Cuomo stares intently at her.

'I was so confused and shocked and embarrassed,' said Ruch.

'I turned my head away and didn't have words in that moment.'
