Former Gov. Cuomo says hush-money charges would never have been brought ‘if his name was not Donald Trump
SUMMARY
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo criticized the indictment of ex-President Trump in his hush money case, claiming it was pursued solely because of Trump's identity and presidential ambitions. Speaking on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Cuomo argued that, as a former attorney general, he believed the case would not have been brought if Trump were not involved. Cuomo emphasized that politicizing the justice system undermines public trust. Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records related to a payment to Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign. Cuomo, who resigned amid sexual harassment allegations in 2021, is rumored to be considering a political comeback.
