The federal investigation was disclosed in a legal services contract between New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the law firm Wilkie Farr & Gallagher.

At least 11 women have claimed Cuomo sexually harassed them, and the former governor was charged in October with a sex crime for inappropriate behavior involving a former executive assistant.

The New York Post obtained the contract through a Freedom of Information Law request.

The federal probe began in August and involves the possible violation of civil statutes related to the harassment claims.

The Justice Department did not respond to the request.

The key background.

Since the early days of the Covid-19 epidemic, when he became a well-known and popular political figure, Cuomo has experienced a massive fall from grace. He came under increasing pressure from critics this year as sexual harassment allegations mounted. Cuomo refused to step down until state legislators started preparing for impeachment proceedings against him after the release of a damning report from the New York State Attorney General. Cuomo relented on August 10, announcing his resignation, but decrying the attorney general's investigation as politically motivated. Hochul became governor on August 24.

Chris Cuomo, the brother of the former governor, was suspended indefinitely by CNN on Tuesday and pulled off his prime time slot after transcripts released by New York Attorney General Letitia James showed Chris Cuomo drafted statements for his brother to use.

Ex-governor The New York Post reported that Cuomo was under federal investigation.

Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women in violation of state and federal law.
