Former Cuomo employees reportedly received calls from governor's office after accuser came forward

Six former employees of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said they were contacted by his office in the days after an ex-aide accused the governor of sexual harassment in December, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

Some of the people who were called said they hadn't heard from the administration in months and saw the calls as intimidation attempts, according to the newspaper.

“I felt intimidated, and I felt bewildered,” said Ana Liss, a former aide to the governor who received one of the calls. Liss has also accused the governor of inappropriate behavior.

Lindsey Boylan, who tweeted in December that Cuomo had sexually harassed her "for years," wrote in a Medium essay last month that Cuomo had subjected her to "pervasive harassment" when she worked for him.

Boylan, now a candidate for Manhattan borough president in New York City, worked for the Cuomo administration from 2015 to 2018, and accused Cuomo of making numerous inappropriate comments in front of other people and kissing her on the lips when they were alone.
