NYC Mayor’s Race: Cuomo refuses to release private consulting list in response to Mamdani challenge

Independent mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo on Thursday again refused to release a list of clients he amassed as a private legal consultant in response to Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s video challenge to do so earlier this week.

Cuomo made the remarks during an unrelated Aug. 14 news conference, a couple of days after Mamdani released the social media video recounting news reports of incidents related to the former governor’s private consultancy — Innovation Strategies LLC. He founded the firm in 2022 after resigning as governor the previous year amid nearly a dozen sexual harassment allegations that he denies.
