Scandal-plagued New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is set to make $5.1 million from his book, “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons form the Covid-19 Pandemic,” and has already pocketed $3.12 million from the deal struck during the thick of the pandemic.

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) opened an investigation on whether Cuomo used state resources on his book, following reports that staffers from the governor’s office assisted in promoting his memoir.James is also investigating several […]
