A New York ethics commission says ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo must return earnings on his $5.1 million book deal after earlier finding on use of state resources

Cuomo has 30 days to return the money, according to the resolution, which CNN obtained through a source familiar with the vote.The resolution that the Joint Commission on Public Ethics voted on Tuesday said the New York attorney general is vested with the legal authority to enforce the decision and to determine where the returned book proceeds should be distributed.Walter McClure, a spokesman for JCOPE, confirmed to CNN that the vote was 12-1 in support of the resolution.

Allegations that Cuomo used state resources for the book, called"American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the Covid-19 Pandemic," are also part of an ongoing criminal investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James' office.JCOPE previously voted to approve Cuomo's book contract in 2020.
