Andrew Cuomo's Arraignment Date On Forcible Touching Charges Pushed Back To January 7, 2022
ALBANY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) - Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo isn't going to court anytime soon.
His arraignment on forcible touching charges was delayed until early January after the Albany County district attorney told the judge he needed more time.
In a letter to the judge, DA David Soares slammed the Albany sheriff for filing the case while prosecutors were still reviewing evidence, and for not including all the necessary paperwork.
