Andrew M. Cuomo stared into a camera, signed a bill and made a promise to the women of New York. The next day, he resumed his unwelcome pursuit of a female state trooper, according to a report released last week by the state attorney general. The complaints against Mr. Cuomo can seem dully familiar in the #MeToo era: another set of stories about awkward come-ons and young women scared of speaking up, this time set in Albany. About that time, Mr. Cuomo asked a young aide named Lindsey Boylan to play strip poker, she said. In November 2017, as the tide of accusations against other men rose, Mr. Cuomo targeted the state trooper, asking for her to be assigned to his detail, the report said.
