"This is about a storm briefing to save lives of New Yorkers," Cuomo lectured the Law Journal reporter who asked about potential retaliation against accuser Charlotte Bennett, a former Cuomo aide whose credibility was questioned last week by Cuomo's personal attorney. 

Cuomo continued, "If you think justice is to accept a complaint from a person, without investigation, and without credibility determinations, and without looking at past actions of a person, then you don’t know what the justice system is," he said, simultaneously attacking Bennett, the investigation against him led by state Attorney General Letitia James, and the reporter asking the question.
