The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has hired a private law firm to conduct an internal investigation into HRC President Alphonso David after the New York attorney general’s report revealed that he aided Governor Andrew Cuomo in responding to allegations of sexual harassment.
According to the report unveiled by the office of Attorney General Letitia James, David provided the governor’s office with an accuser’s personnel file, worked to convince women to sign a statement praising the governor, participated in discussions to secretly record another accuser, and was among those who Cuomo “actively consulted” in the aftermath of the allegations. David once served as Cuomo’s top counsel, but was working for HRC at the time he helped the governor.
