The New York Assembly's Judiciary Committee will soon issue subpoenas as part of its impeachment investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a member of the committee said on Wednesday.
At the end of a meeting in Albany, he said the committee will issue subpoenas to compel documents and sworn statements from witnesses to corroborate existing evidence.
The Judiciary Committee since mid-March has been probing allegations against Cuomo of sexual misconduct.
Cuomo is also being probed over allegations that he directed staff to illegally withhold or mispresent information regarding the number of COVID-19 nursing home resident deaths, and whether he directed or had knowledge of executive personnel withholding information regarding safety concerns with bridges in the state.
Cuomo has said the interactions detailed by the women who have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against him "May have been insensitive or too personal" but denied inappropriately touching anybody or propositioning them.
A separate probe is taking place under the aegis of the state's attorney general, Democrat Letitia James.
President Joe Biden said in March that Cuomo should resign if an investigation confirms the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct made against him.
