STATEMENT FROM PRESS SECRETARY CAITLIN GIROUARD

By CUOMO PRESS OFFICE | February 24, 2021


“As we said before, Ms. Boylan’s claims of inappropriate behavior are quite simply false.”

In Ms. Boylan’s latest blog post, she opens up with a story about a plane trip in October 2017 – the manifests of all flights from October 2017 can be found below – there was no flight where Lindsey was alone with the Governor, a single press aide, and a NYS Trooper. Below is a statement that can be attributed to John Maggiore, Howard Zemsky, Dani Lever and Abbey Fashouer Collins who were on all of these flights with her:

“We were on each of these October flights and this conversation did not happen.”
