Glavin also is arguing against the credibility of the woman’s accusation because she was “making jokes,” “eating snacks,” and stayed longer at the mansion to keep working on a speech. (This accuser filed a criminal complaint about the incident today in Albany County)
Glavin says Cuomo will address the harassment allegation from a state trooper on his detail himself
The trooper still works on Cuomo’s detail, Glavin says and that Cuomo has a “positive” view of her
Glavin, responding to a question about the trooper being protected against retaliation, says there’s not going to be retaliation because “the whole world is watching” the Cuomo situation. (Not because of any specific protections or because Cuomo wouldn’t retaliate anyway)

Infrastructure is the star of show, but this could also be a big week for voting policy on Capitol Hill between the negotiations for the new S.1/HR. 1 & the expected unveiling of the John Lewis Act on Friday. Here's my last week of reporting from the Hill to get you up to speed:
First, my dispatch from the House Admin Committee’s hearing on election subversion where two 2020 officials from Detroit, MI and Maricopa, AZ, testified about the threats they faced /extensive efforts to subvert the election results in their communities businessinsider.com/election-offic…
I also dug deep into the push from local officials/advocates get a big federal investment for elections from Congress in the upcoming budget reconciliation bill (ft. interviews with a few Senators, @beckerdavidj @tianaej, @mayorofmke, and @adrian_fontes) businessinsider.com/congress-could…

.@AOC to @CNNSotu on the idea that voter suppression can be out-organized: “No. I appreciate the White House’s optimism but I believe it verges on naïveté. It already took historic organizing efforts to overcome voter suppression in 2020,” adds that it’s a “ridiculous premise”
She also said that partisan gerrymandering and emerging trends like politicization of election admin & subversion of election results can’t be overcome by organizing efforts, warned that GOP lawmakers are laying the groundwork to try and overturn election results they don’t like
The main legislative proposal on this in Congress is the Preventing Election Subversion Act, which would ban local election officials from being removed without cause and add more federal protections against harassment/threats towards election officials: businessinsider.com/election-offic…

In an effort led by @HelloCTCL, a large group of secs of state, 50 mayors, and 250 election officials called for congress to invest $20 billion over 10 years with 2/3 of the money going directly to localities. businessinsider.com/congress-could…
.@SenatorWarnock told me that while he’d like to see “support for voting rights” in reconciliation, his ultimate goal is to pass a comprehensive voting rights bill. He’s a key member of a group drafting up a revised version of the For the People Act businessinsider.com/congress-could…

Three members of the Texas House democrats in DC are testifying before a House Oversight Committee subcommittee starting now — their work on the Hill has been somewhat sidelined by the focus on infrastructure & COVID-19 within their ranks c-span.org/video/?513778-…
.@Senfronia4Texas had a powerful opening statement, said this in response to @PeteSessions criticizing the Dems for leaving: "You're damn right I left Texas. And I'm glad I did. And you know why, Pete? I left Texas to give my people a right to vote without being infringed upon."
@Senfronia4Texas @PeteSessions .@travisfortexas testifying remotely, says: "There is no assault on voting rights in Texas."

And directed to his Dem colleagues: "It's time to come home. Enough is enough. You've had your fun. This legislation has been negotiated in good faith and deserves your attention."
