, McGuire argued that the commission’s “actions today are unconstitutional, exceed its own authority and appear to be driven by political interests rather than the facts and the law.”Cuomo reportedly donated $500,000 of the book’s proceeds to charity and placed another $1 million in a trust for his daughters, the New York Times reported.Republicans, including evangelical Christians, enthusiastically voted for Donald Trump.
“American Crisis” briefly topped the bestseller list upon its release in October 2020, but sales flagged when public opinion turned on Cuomo as scandals mounted. An impeachment investigation looked into whether state resources had been used to help him write the book and whether Cuomo urged a state ethics board to fast-track approving the book deal.
Approval of the book deal was granted in July 2020 after Cuomo’s counsel told the commission he agreed to not use any state personnel or resources to produce the memoir and that he would write it “entirely on his own time,” AP reported. But complaints later surfaced that state property, resources and personnel were used to prepare, write, edit and publish the book “contrary to the representations” made on Cuomo’s behalf.
Cuomo has acknowledged that state employees helped with tasks including editing the manuscript, but claimed that those employees were volunteering.
