Andrew Cuomo has filed a lawsuit demanding $8.6 million in legal fees from a sexual harassment accuser known as Trooper 1, describing her lawsuit as 'patently frivolous' and 'wholly unreliable.' Cuomo's legal action has drawn attention amidst ongoing debates about his conduct. Separately, in Seattle, former Seattle Police Department Chief of Staff Jamie Tompkins is suing the city for $3 million, alleging harassment related to false rumors of a sexual relationship with former Police Chief Adrian Diaz. The scandal has also implicated Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, who faces accusations of making inappropriate remarks toward Tompkins. Additionally, two Seattle police officers have filed lawsuits against the city, alleging harassment and discrimination. Handwriting analysis has been introduced in the Seattle case, casting doubt on the authenticity of a romantic note that contributed to the scandal and the credibility of the affair allegations that led to the police chief's downfall. There are also suspicions among some Seattle police that the city attempted to manipulate the investigation following a suspicious complaint.
