Cuomo's announcement followed a cascade of statements Friday morning from multiple Democratic members of the state's congressional delegation calling for his resignation.

The governor said he will ask New York's attorney general and the state's chief judge to pick an independent investigator to review allegations against him brought by two former aides.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that campgrounds would be able to open on Memorial Day. He also gave the OK for the state's professional sports teams to start training camp.

Cuomo is known as a "take-no-prisoners kind of guy." He's been getting praise even from some critics for his daily briefings and decisive actions as New York becomes the hardest hit state in the U.S.
