President Trump: Capitol Officials Controlled by Pelosi Rejected My Recommendation of 10,000 National Guard for January 6 Because of Optics
President Trump spoke about the January 6 riot at the Capitol during a phone interview with Steve Hilton on the Fox News Channel program the Next Revolution that aired Sunday night, saying he “hated to see it.”
Trump denied reports he was watching the riot on TV and liked what he was seeing, saying, “Well, that’s incorrect reporting. First of all I wasn’t watching TV. I turned it on later on when I heard about it and did a lot of moves. You know, we said to the Department of Defense, the top person, days before we had the rally, cuz that rally was massive…(Trump comments on large rally crowd)…and I said that I think you should have ten thousand, I think I gave the number, I definitely gave the number of ten thousand National Guardsmen, I think you have ten thousand of the National Guard ready. They took that number, from what I understand they gave it to the people at the Capitol which is controlled by Pelosi and I heard they rejected it because they didn’t think it looked good. So, you know, that was a big mistake.”
Hilton pressed Trump on how he feels now about the riot. Trump said, “I hate to see it, I think it’s terrible, I hate to see it” and went on to compare the “double standard” of the reaction to the Capitol riot with the riots last year by Antifa and the radical left in Washington, D.C., Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis.
CNN’s Olive Darcy posted a video clip of the interview with a typical for CNN misleading description.
Fox's @SteveHiltonx asks Trump if he understands "how bad" the insurrection was. Trump uses the opportunity to boast about how big his January 6 rally crowd was. After some prodding by Hilton, Trump eventually calls it "terrible" and then goes off on a tangent about Antifa. pic.twitter.com/J6twxuNhoO

The Daily Caller reported Saturday that Capitol officials said Pelosi’s office had made it clear in the months before the riot that National Guard should not be deployed to protect the Capitol because of optics.
In the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Former Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving recalled to House Admin how previous discussions with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her office factored in to his “blender of decision making,” according to three sources with direct knowledge of Irving’s talk with House Admin.
Pelosi’s office had previously impressed upon Irving that the National Guard was to remain off Capitol Grounds, Irving allegedly told House Admin. The discussions, which centered around “optics,” allegedly occurred in the months prior to the Jan. 6 riot, during a time when deployment of federal resources for civil unrest was unpopular with Democrats and many members of Congress.
The three sources who confirmed the discussion to the Daily Caller did so under the condition of anonymity, citing the fear of putting a chill on further witnesses to how the security situation unfolded Jan. 6. The discussion, if accurate, raises questions as to what role Pelosi’s office had in the security failures that resulted in the resignations of both Irving and former Chief of Capitol Police Steven Sund. Pelosi’s Deputy Chief of Staff Drew Hammill did not deny the allegations in a statement to the Daily Caller.
“The Speaker’s Office has made it clear publicly and repeatedly that our office was not consulted or contacted concerning any request for the National Guard ahead of January 6th. That has been confirmed by former Sergeant at Arms Irving in sworn testimony before Senate committees. The Speaker expects security professionals to make security decisions and to briefed about those decisions,” Hammill said.
“It is our understanding that Committee on House Administration Ranking Republican Member Davis was briefed in advance of January 6th about security preparedness, but took no action to address any security concerns that he might have had,” he concluded.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser issued a statement on January 5 that she did not want any help from federal law enforcement agencies, “To be clear, the District of Columbia is not requesting other federal law enforcement personnel and discourages any additional deployment without immediate notification to, and consultation with, MPD if such plans are underway.”

The AP reported January 4 on Bowser’s request for a light contingent of unarmed Guard for traffic control, noting that no Guard would be deployed at the Capitol.
…Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested a limited National Guard deployment to help bolster the Metropolitan Police Department.
…According to a U.S. defense official, Bowser put in a request on New Year’s Eve to have Guard members on the streets from Jan. 5 to Jan. 7 to help with the protests. The official said the additional forces will be used for traffic control and other assistance but they will not be armed or wearing body armor.
…Some 340 D.C. National Guard members will be activated, with about 115 on duty in the streets at any given time, said the defense official, who provided details on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The official said Guard members will be used to set up traffic control points around the city and to stand with district police officers at all the city’s Metro stops. (Acting D.C. Police Chief) Contee said Guard troops will also be used for some crowd management.
…The defense official said that there will be no active duty military troops in the city, and the U.S. military will not be providing any aircraft or intelligence. The D.C. Guard will provide specialized teams that will be prepared to respond to any chemical or biological incident. But the official said there will be no D.C. Guard members on the National Mall or at the U.S. Capitol.
Like President Trump said, “That was a big mistake.”

They Have Betrayed the Constitution – Overwhelming Evidence of FBI Corruption
The American people, regardless of political affiliation, should be bellowing a primal scream of outrage in light of the new evidence–overwhelming evidence at that–of the FBI’s corruption. If you have not read John Solomon’s latest revelations about the contents of formerly classified FBI documents that were declassified one week before Donald Trump left Washington, DC, then you need to take the time. You can read it here.
Permit me to point out some background you need to appreciate the appalling gravity of these documents. In theory the FBI is not supposed to be a Secret Police (i.e., a GESTAPO). No FBI Agent or official is supposed to have the ability to wake up in the morning and decide to start investigating an American citizen just because the Agent does not like what someone has written or said. But we now know that world is our reality.
In theory, Special Prosecutor John Durham, could put the brakes on this lawlessness by indicting and convicting James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, James Baker, Bruce Ohr and others. Do not hold your breath. Durham appears to be a fraud and his failure to act will further embolden the FBI to engage in more illegal acts.
The FBI documents use code names for various members of the Trump campaign team. Here’s your cheat sheet:
- George Papadopoulos — Crossfire Typhoon (aka CT)
- Carter Page — Crossfire Dragron (aka CD)
- General Michael Flynn — Crossfire Razor (aka CR)
- Campaign chairman Paul Manafort, — Crossfire Fury (aka CF)
But they were not the only ones targeted. These men also were put in the cross-hairs, without knowing the FBI was after them for the mere act of supporting Donald Trump:
- Future Attorney General Jeff Sessions,
- Foreign policy adviser Sam Clovis,
- Economic adviser Peter Navarro
Inspector General Michael Horowitz lied with his claim that Crossfire Hurricane was “properly predicated.” It was not. There was no justification for this massive counter intelligence investigation, which had only one purpose–help Hillary Clinton.
The key informant/spy in this operation is Stefan Halper, an obese bloodsucker whose father-in-law was a top level CIA officer in the 1970s:
Halper is an American foreign policy scholar and retired Senior Fellow at the University of Cambridge where he is a Life Fellow at Magdalene College.[1] He served as a White House official in the Nixon, Ford, and Reagan administrations, and was reportedly in charge of the spying operation by the 1980 Ronald Reagan presidential campaign that became known as “Debategate“. Through his decades of work for the CIA, Halper has had extensive ties to the Bush family.[2] Through his work with Sir Richard Billing Dearlove, he had ties to the British Secret Intelligence Service MI6.
Halper is referred to in the FBI documents as Confidential Human Source aka CHS.
Here are the key documents for your own perusal. Do not take my word for it:
Halper Source Documents_final.pdf
04518073623.pdf (FBI interview of FBI Agent William Barnett)
HalperPageIntercept11-2016.pdf
The money quote from Solomon’s article is this:
Former FBI Assistant Director for Intelligence Kevin Brock said the information about Papadopoulos’ foreign lobbying that the bureau used to open the Russia collusion probe failed to meet the bureau’s own legal standards to justify the larger dragnet that encompassed Page and many other Trump officials.
“Normally when the FBI opens an investigation on a U.S. citizen, it has specific facts justifying an investigation of that person,” explained Brock, who led the implementation of many of the bureau’s current rules for informants and intelligence gathering. “But here what the ECs are saying is they don’t know who is involved and they are just conjecturing that someone in the Trump campaign might be in a position to receive help from Russia. You just can’t open a full field investigation on conjecture. . . .
“What they are doing is using preferred definitions,” he said. “When we employ the investigative techniques used against Carter Page to break the laws of another country and steal their secrets, it’s okay to call it spying. When we use those same techniques against a U.S. citizen, it’s called an investigation.”
Let us give the despicable Bill Barr credit for one thing. He told the truth about Obama. The Obama Administration was spying, illegally so, on Donald Trump and his campaign staff. We now know what a dishonored, disgraceful outfit the FBI has become. The FBI has betrayed the Constitution.

Sidney Powell LIVE: “There Is More than Enough Evidence in the Public Now to More than Reverse the Election in at Least 5 States” (VIDEO)
On Saturday Attorney Sidney Powell and Retired General Michael Flynn joined Erskine for his weekly podcast.
Lieutenant General Michael Flynn is a retired United States Army Lieutenant General who was the 25th United States National Security Advisor for President Trump. Flynn’s military career included a key role in shaping U.S. counterterrorism strategy and disarming insurgent networks in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and was given numerous combat arms, conventional, and special operations senior intelligence assignments. His book, The Field of Fight, is brilliant. https://ift.tt/39aNucm
Sidney Powell served in the Department of Justice for 10 years and for the last 20 years has devoted her private practice to federal appeals. She was the youngest Assistant U.S Attorney and later became Chief of the Appellate Section for the Western and Northern Districts of Texas. Sidney Powell is recognized by her peers as a “Super Lawyer” and named as one of the “Best Lawyers in America”. Her Amazon best-selling book Licensed To Lie reads like a legal thriller. Her latest book is CONVICTION MACHINE: Standing Up to Prosecutorial Abuse. Learn the TRUTH about the 2020 election and what it means to America
Sidney Powell had this to say to open the conversation. “Well, Erskine from my perspective it looks like the complete breakdown of every institution of law enforcement and the rule of law that we have trusted in this country since its inception to protect the law and the citizens from abuses by the government.
As far as the last election Sidney Powell had this to say, “There’s all kind of precedent for fixing what happened in this election from Bush vs. Gore to other cases as well… Fractionalized votes. That’s exactly what we have here from a computer algorithm that we can prove in multiple counties and it could prove across the country if anybody would issue an order allowing inspection of the machines. The very fact that Dominion and other companies are not allowing inspection of the voting machines ought to tell everybody all they need to know. Federal law calls for election records to be kept for 22 months… In this case it requires forensic evaluations of the machines and looking at all of the paper ballots. We already know that’s not going to match up. There were counterfeit ballots. People were saying, “Oh, well they did a full audit in Georgia.” Well, if you just keep running the same counterfeit bill through the same counting machine you’re going to get the same result.
Sidney then dropped this bomb, “There is enough evidence in the cases before them or enough evidence in the public now to more than reverse the election in at least five states.”
That was just the first 7 minutes of the interview!

Trump Calls on Conservative States to Punish Tech Companies with “Major Sanctions” if They Censor Conservatives
President Donald Trump spoke on Sunday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida.
This was President Trump’s first public speech since leaving office in January.
President Trump told the crowd he was NOT starting a new political party.
He suggested he might run again to “beat Democrats a third time!”
He called out election fraud in the 2020 election.
And, President Trump called on conservative states to start sanctioning the far-left tech giants when they censor conservatives.
President Trump: “The time has come to break up big tech monopolies and restore fair competition. Republicans, conservatives must open up our platforms and repeal Section 230 liability protection. And if the federal government refuses to act, then every state in the Union where we have the votes, which is a lot of them, big tech giants like Twitter, Google, and Facebook should be punished with major sanctions whenever they silence conservative voices.”

President Trump Lays Out What Must Be Done to Ensure Election Integrity in US Elections Going Forward
President Trump listed the activities needed to address the election fraud of 2020.
President Trump listed the activities needed in elections going forward in his speech today at CPAC:
- We should have one election day
- The only people that should be allowed to vote absentee are those with a good reason
- Eliminate mail-in voting
- Must have voter ID
- We need universal signature matching
- There should be 100% requirement to be American to vote
- Must have chain of custody for every ballot
Additionally, the President said:
Our election process is worse than that of a 3rd world country.
State legislatures have the privilege of being able to update laws, not judges.
Time magazine article reported on the corruption in the election is a must read.
We also need free speech. We can’t have Republicans censored.
Your numbers are bigger than their numbers – Republicans are much bigger.
They don’t want to debate because we have easier victories.
It’s time to break up Big Tech monopolies and address section 230. If not every state should institute laws to punish Big Tech with major sanctions whenever they silence conservatives.
His overall speech was great – making America great again.

Biden Will Never Experience This: Crowd at CPAC Erupts in Chant of ‘We Love You’ During Trump’s Speech (VIDEO)
In a touching moment, one which Joe Biden will surely never see anything comparable to, the crowd at CPAC erupted in a loud chant of “we love you” during former President Donald Trump’s CPAC speech.
Trump received countless standing ovations during the speech, but this moment was something special.

This was Trump’s first speech after leaving the White House — and he walked out on to the CPAC stage and asked “do you miss me yet?”
The adoring crowd loudly assured him that they do.

Trump also asserted that he will not be starting a new political party — despite the fact that a hypothetical new party led by him is polling very well.
“We’re not starting new parties, we have the Republican party. We are going to unite and be stronger than before,” Trump said.
President Trump is expected to walk all the way up to the line of announcing a 2024 run, without actually announcing that he is running.

WATCH: Trump Rips Into Biden for Bragging About Educating Migrant Kids at the Border — While American Children Can’t Go to School
Former President Donald Trump blasted Joe Biden during his CPAC speech on Sunday for bragging about educating migrant children at the border while destroying the futures of American children with unnecessary school closures.
By this point it was hard to keep track of how many standing ovations Trump received in the first hour of his speech.
“The Biden administration is actually bragging about the education they are providing to migrant children on the border, while at the same, time millions of American children are having their futures destroyed by Joe Biden’s anti-science school closures,” Trump asserted to massive applause.

“I Don’t Think There’s a More Important Issue than Election Integrity” – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Will Address Election Integrity at GOP Attorneys General Meeting Next Week (VIDEO)
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Saturday morning.
Paxton spoke about how we must ensure fair and lawful elections in the future of this country after the 2020 debacle.
The Texas AG is going to address election integrity with the GOP Attorneys General at their annual meeting this coming week.
Steve Bannon: Attorney General Paxton, you’ve been a great supporter of President Trump, what are you looking forward to tomorrow? As you anticipate that speech what would you like to hear him say as part of that speech? What are things you would be particularly looking for and you think our audience ought to look for?
AG Ken Paxton: I think there’s still a vacuum of leadership in the Republican Party with him out. And I think people are still looking at him. He’s still the most popular Republican in the United States. He’s the person who so many grassroots people look to for a vision. I would encourage him to cast a vision. Where he thinks we ought to go, going as a party, going as a country. And address things like election fraud. Address things like what’s going on with the tech companies…
Steve Bannon: Look you mention election integrity there. That’s one of the huge topics we focus on every day whether it’s from Georgia or Pennsylvania. Given that Texas knows how to run an election. Given that you’re the guy that said, “No Dominion Election Systems. We’re not interested…” And you were the leader in the lawsuit that should have gone forward, right? You took the leadership of that. Are you prepared, are you working with other states to help them get sorted? Particularly in Georgia and Pennsylvania which were a nightmare and Arizona. Where you’ve seen leadership in those parties back off from taking leadership. Are you Ken Paxton reaching out to people? Are you there in CPAC saying, “Hey we know how Texas can take the lead in this.”
Ken Paxton: Yes, so I’m talking to whoever I can. I’m talking to leaders all over the country. We got a meeting of Republican Attorneys General coming up this week where I’m going to address the very issue you’re talking about. I don’t think there’s a more important issue than election integrity because if we go forward with what happened in this last election Americans will never know whether our elections are credible. And that destroys a democracy and puts us in positions more like Venezuela than it does the America we all know and love.
Steve Bannon: Well this is on Mitch McConnell. 300,000 didn’t show up in Georgia… I’ve been giving talks to CPAC crowds all week. If you don’t show them you can sort out November 3rd and they don’t believe you’ve sorted it out, don’t ask for their money in 2022. Twenty percent of the MAGA movement and the media knows this… Every legal vote counts, every certifiable vote counts. Every chain of custody vote counts. If we show that we’re going to get 100% of the people out to vote.

Joe Biden in TX: “I want to thank Representatives ‘Shirley’ Jackson Lee…Lizzie Pinnela, uh, excuse me, uh, Pinell, and uh, what am I doing here?” [VIDEO]
100 Percent Fed Up – Unlike President Trump, who gained a reputation for quickly boarding Marine One and traveling to the site of a natural disaster, “President” Joe Biden waited a full week before traveling to the state of Texas to assess the damage from a highly unusual icy winter storm. The storm left millions of citizens without electricity, heat, food, and water.
The Federalist – After millions of Texans struggled for days to survive record subzero temperatures and widespread disaster, Biden pledged to sign the declaration allowing the state access to more federal disaster relief funds soon.
“I’m going to sign [that] declaration once that’s in front of me,” which “God-willing will bring relief to a lot of Texans,” Biden said, noting that his approval is required to financially support aid and cleanup efforts in the wake of the deadly and dangerous weather.
Biden also said he might visit Texas if he can do it without stirring up what he believes to be inevitable crowds. “I had planned on being in Texas the middle of next week, but what I don’t want to be is a burden. When the President lands in any city in America, it has a long tail,” he said.
LOL! The only “long tail” Biden experienced was a long tail of Trump supporters and anti-Biden protesters who lined the streets to greet Biden when he arrived in Houston (shared by The Gateway Pundit):
HAPPENING NOW: as President Biden prepares to land in Houston, two separate groups of protestors are near the Houston Food bank. One is spotlighting what’s happening Tigray, the other are supporters of Fmr. President Trump. HPD is making sure it stays peaceful. #khou11 pic.twitter.com/WUV7EI5oxr
— Melissa Correa (@KHOUmelissa) February 26, 2021
But the highlight of Joe’s visit came when he spoke to dozens of Americans about how he was welcomed by “Representatives uh, “Shirley” [Sheila] Jackson Lee (D-TX), Al Green, Sylvia Garcia, Lizzie Pinnela, uh, excuse me, uh, Pinell, and uh, what am I doing here? I’m gonna lose track here…”
Watch:
When is someone going to be charged for elder abuse for allowing this to happen? I’m no fan of Joe Biden, but allowing him to stand in front of Americans and pretend to be capable of being the President of the United States, is beyond the pale.
Where is Dr. Jill while her husband is humiliating himself in front of dozens of people watching him address the nation? A loving wife would never allow this to happen to her husband.

OUTRAGE: Former Assistant Attorney General John Carlin Who Illegally Withheld Info from FISA Court in 2016 Returns As Acting Deputy AG Under Biden
The former DOJ Assistant Attorney General under James Comey and the Obama Administration is back. Even though there is ample evidence he committed crimes during his Obama tenure, he is now back in the DOJ.
We reported on the DOJ’s corrupt John Carlin in the past:
The Conservative Treehouse reports about Carlin:
John Carlin was the assistant attorney general and head of the National Security Division inside the DOJ when efforts against the Trump campaign and incoming administration were underway. John CarIin was previously chief of staff to FBI Director Robert Mueller.
In September of 2016 Carlin manipulated the FISA court by misleading them on the Section 702 certifications. Carlin never informed the court of FBI contractors having access to the NSA database and exporting the search results to unknown actors. The FBI was using the database to monitor 2016 political campaigns and political opposition.
Carlin announced his resignation Sept 27, 2016, the day after he filed the Government’s proposed 2016 Section 702 certifications. Carlin departed the NSD October 15, 2016, five days before the Carter Page FISA was approved by the FISC.
It was John Carlin who ultimately facilitated the fraudulent FISA application against Carter Page in order to continue surveillance of the risk represented by Donald Trump. John Carlin’s legal counsel in the NSD was Michael Atkinson.
Carlin is now back at the DOJ and expected to go at it again with the corrupt crew again.
Acting Deputy Attorney General John Carlin just held a briefing about DOJ’s approach to domestic terrorism/extremism, and confirmed that re: Jan. 6, 300+ people have now been charged and 280+ arrested.
Investigation is “moving at a speed and scale that is unprecedented.”

HUGE UPDATE! Top WHO Official Caught on Video Revealing Coronavirus Manipulation at Wuhan Lab in December 2019 Before Pandemic (VIDEO)
For over a year now The Gateway Pundit has been reporting evidence proving the COVID-19 Virus originated in a Wuhan, China laboratory.
Our first report was back on February 20, 2020.
Unequivocal Scientific Evidence that the COVID-19 Virus Originated in a Laboratory
As early as 2018 US State Department officials warned about safety risks at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab on scientists conducting risky tests with the bat coronavirus.
US officials made several trips to the Wuhan laboratory.
Despite the warnings the US National Institute of Health (NIH) under Dr. Anthony Fauci awarded a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan lab studying the bat virus. This was after State Department warned about the risky tests going on in the lab.
This is unbelievable!
The deadly China coronavirus that started in China sometime in late 2019 has now circled the globe. Evidence suggests that the coronavirus didn’t come naturally. We still don’t know whether the deadly virus was leaked intentionally or if it was an accident.
** And yet as recently as February 9, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) has denied the coronavirus leaked from a lab in Wuhan!
But now a video has surfaced of WHO official Peter Daszak admitting to coronavirus manipulation at the Wuhan Lab back in December 2019 before the pandemic was announced.
This is an explosive development.
Via Taiwan News:
Video taken just days before the start of the coronavirus pandemic shows a current World Health Organization (WHO) inspector discuss the testing of modified coronaviruses on human cells and humanized mice in the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), just weeks before the first cases of COVID-19 were announced in the city of Wuhan itself.
In a video that was originally taken on Dec. 9, 2019, three weeks before the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission announced an outbreak of a new form of pneumonia, virologist Vincent Racaniello interviewed British zoologist and president of EcoHealth Alliance Peter Daszak about his work at the nonprofit to protect the world from the emergence of new diseases and predict pandemics. Since 2014, Daszak’s organization has received millions of dollars of funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), which it has funneled to the WIV to carry out research on bat coronaviruses.
In the first phase of research, which took place from 2014 to 2019, Daszak coordinated with Shi Zhengli, (石正麗), also known as “Bat Woman,” at the WIV on investigating and cataloging bat coronaviruses across China. EcoHealth Alliance received US$3.7 million in funding from the NIH for this research and 10 percent was channeled to the WIV, reported NPR.
The second, more dangerous phase, which started in 2019, involved gain-of-function (GoF) research on coronaviruses and chimeras in humanized mice from the lab of Ralph S. Baric of the University of North Carolina. Funding for the program was withdrawn by the NIH under the Trump administration on April 27 amid the pandemic.
At the 28:10 mark of the podcast interview, Daszak states that researchers found that SARS likely originated from bats and then set out to find more SARS-related coronaviruses, eventually finding over 100. He observed that some coronaviruses can “get into human cells in the lab,” and others can cause SARS disease in “humanized mouse models.”…
…Controversially, Daszak has been included among a team of experts from the WHO that has finally been allowed by Beijing to investigate the origin of the outbreak of COVID-19, over a year after it started.

N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo Accused of Sexual Harassment by Second Former Aide, 25, Who Says He Asked If She Ever had Sex With an Older Man
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), 63, has been accused of sexual harassment by a second former aide in a bombshell report by the New York Times published Saturday evening.
Charlotte Bennett, 25, told the Times that Cuomo started asking personal questions of a sexual nature last May after previously acting as a mentor. Bennet now says she believes Cuomo was grooming her by taking an interest in her life.
Cuomo denies harassing Bennett and Bennett says Cuomo never tried to touch or kiss her. However Bennett says he asked her when she last hugged someone, if she was monogamous, whether she was sleeping with any of Cuomo’s staffers and whether she had ever had sex with an older man while telling her he was open to dating women in their twenties. Bennett also said Cuomo focused on her being a rape survivor.

Bennett reported the conversations to Cuomo’s chief of staff and to a lawyer in his office. Bennett was given a transfer to the other side of the Capitol in Albany but soon left the government and the state. Bennett also shared with the Times contemporaneous text messages with family and friends about the alleged harassment.
Bennett spoke to the Times after a reporter spotted her tweet commenting on the first former Cuomo staffer to accuse him of sexual harassment, Lindsey Boylan, who accused Cuomo of several instances of harassment and of kissing her, “For those wondering what it’s like to work for the Cuomo admin, read
@LindseyBoylan’s story.”

A second former aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is accusing him of sexual harassment, saying that he asked her questions about her sex life, whether she was monogamous in her relationships and if she had ever had sex with older men.
The aide, Charlotte Bennett, who was an executive assistant and health policy adviser in the Cuomo administration until she left in November, told The New York Times that the governor had harassed her late last spring, during the height of the state’s fight against the coronavirus.
Ms. Bennett, 25, said the most unsettling episode occurred on June 5, when she was alone with Mr. Cuomo in his State Capitol office. In a series of interviews this week, she said the governor had asked her numerous questions about her personal life, including whether she thought age made a difference in romantic relationships, and had said that he was open to relationships with women in their 20s — comments she interpreted as clear overtures to a sexual relationship.
…Ms. Bennett said that during the June encounter, the governor, 63, also complained to her about being lonely during the pandemic, mentioning that he “can’t even hug anyone,” before turning the focus to Ms. Bennett. She said that Mr. Cuomo asked her, “Who did I last hug?”
…Ms. Bennett said she had tried to dodge the question by responding that she missed hugging her parents. “And he was, like, ‘No, I mean like really hugged somebody?’” she said.
…On May 15, she said she arrived at the Capitol around 7 a.m. to find Mr. Cuomo already at work. Ms. Bennett was there to drop off some briefing papers, but Mr. Cuomo was chatty, asking about her love life and, in a gossipy way, whether she was involved with other members of the governor’s staff. She memorialized the exchange in several texts to another Cuomo staff member that The Times reviewed.
Ms. Bennett said she had mentioned a speech she was scheduled to give to Hamilton students about her experience as a survivor of sexual assault. She said she had been taken aback by Mr. Cuomo’s seeming fixation on that element of her life experience.
“The way he was repeating, ‘You were raped and abused and attacked and assaulted and betrayed,’ over and over again while looking me directly in the eyes was something out of a horror movie,” she wrote in a second text to her friend. “It was like he was testing me.”
In retrospect, Ms. Bennett said, she viewed the May 15 meeting “as the turning point in our relationship.”
“Anything before it I now see differently,” she said. “I now understand that as grooming.”
…Ms. Bennett left state government last fall and she now lives and works in a neighboring state. She said that her anger about what had happened had continued to percolate and had led to her departure.
“His presence was suffocating,” she said. “I was thinking that I could recover and have distance but that is so naïve.”

Statements released by Cuomo’s office Saturday night:
Statement From Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
“Ms. Bennett was a hardworking and valued member of our team during COVID. She has every right to speak out.
“When she came to me and opened up about being a sexual assault survivor and how it shaped her and her ongoing efforts to create an organization that empowered her voice to help other survivors, I tried to be supportive and helpful. Ms. Bennett’s initial impression was right: I was trying to be a mentor to her. I never made advances toward Ms. Bennett nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate. The last thing I would ever have wanted was to make her feel any of the things that are being reported.
“This situation cannot and should not be resolved in the press; I believe the best way to get to the truth is through a full and thorough outside review and I am directing all state employees to comply with that effort. I ask all New Yorkers to await the findings of the review so that they know the facts before making any judgements. I will have no further comment until the review has concluded.”
STATEMENT FROM BETH GARVEY, SPECIAL COUNSEL AND SENIOR ADVISOR TO THE GOVERNOR
“Ms. Bennett’s concerns were treated with sensitivity and respect and in accordance with applicable law and policy.
“The matter was promptly escalated to special counsel. Ms. Bennett received the transfer she requested to a position in which she had expressed a long-standing interest, and was thoroughly debriefed on the facts which did not include a claim of physical contact or inappropriate sexual conduct. She was consulted regarding the resolution, and expressed satisfaction and appreciation for the way in which it was handled.
“The determination reached based on the information Ms Bennett provided was that no further action was required which was consistent with Ms Bennett’s wishes.
“Although in no way required by law, the Governor has requested an independent review and all staff will cooperate in that endeavor. Former Federal Judge Barbara Jones will lead the review.”
