New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) delivered a defiant farewell address before leaving office following a series of sexual harassment allegations, decrying the "unfair" situation that led to his resignation.

Cuomo announced he would resign from office earlier this month after New York Attorney General Letitia James released a report that found he sexually harassed 11 women, and in an address on his last day in office Monday, the departing governor slammed the report while continuing to deny the numerous allegations against him.
