On Tuesday's episode of his Fox News show, Tucker Carlson joked about the new report detailing numerous sexual-harassment claims against Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The report relayed the findings of an investigation ordered by the New York attorney general's office. After its release Tueday, the lead investigator Joon Kim said during a press conference that the investigators uncovered sexual-harassment claims not just from members of Cuomo's staff but also from other state employees, including a state trooper who served on his protective detail.

Cuomo first met the trooper, identified as "Trooper #1" in the report, in 2017 and requested that she be added to his protection service unit, the report said. Trooper #1 described the governor's behavior toward her after she joined the unit as generally "flirtatious" and "creepy," according to the report.

"One thing we learned: Andrew Cuomo is not against defunding the police - he wants to have sex with them, or at least one of them," Carlson quipped.

At the same press conference, another lead investigator, Anne Clark, said the governor had hugged one of his executive assistants and reached under her blouse to grab her breast.

In response to the report's release, Cuomo continued to largely deny acting inappropriately and showed a slideshow of himself hugging and kissing both strangers and other public officials, including former Vice President Al Gore.

"Now, we didn't show the tape, but we just want to be totally clear that the video of the slideshow that Andrew Cuomo put on the screen showed him hugging Al Gore but not reaching up under Gore's shirt to grab his man boobs," Carlson said.

Carlson then had the former federal prosecutor Francey Hakes on as a guest to provide her analysis of the situation, asking her, "How would you assess what we've just learned about Governer Creep-o?"

Hakes said Cuomo could face criminal charges of sexual battery.

"Isn't it convenient that he has built for himself a touchy reputation?" Hakes said. "My question is, did he build that touchy reputation for himself so that he could claim later that these were all misinterpreted touchings and that he's just a very affectionate man?"

Carlson predominantly focused his segment on Cuomo, barely mentioning any of the 11 women who came forward with the sexual-harassment accusations against him.
