An attorney hired by disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) previously worked to defend media mogul and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein. While representing Weinstein, this attorney hired a company to dig up dirt on one of the producer’s accusers.
The attorney, Elkan Abramowitz, was hired by Cuomo’s office in March to represent the governor and his top aides while the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) considered an inquiry into the Cuomo administration’s nursing home policy in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The DOJ ultimately dropped its inquiry into Cuomo’s policy, as well as two other Democrat governors’ nursing home policies.
