The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the state of New York have reached a settlement regarding the sexual harassment investigation on former Governor Andrew Cuomo, which found that the Cuomo administration created a sexually hostile work environment towards women.

Under the settlement, DOJ states that the Executive Chamber under the former governor also not only tolerated that environment and failed to correct the problem, but also retaliated against employees who spoke out about the harassment.
