President Joe Biden supports an “independent review” of sexual harassment claims against Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo after allegations surfaced from two female former staffers​, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Sunday.

“There should be an independent review looking into these allegations, and that’s certainly something he supports, and we believe should move forward as quickly as possible,​” Psaki said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

“They’re serious. It was hard to read that story as a woman, and that process should move forward as quickly as possible​,​ and that’s something we all support and the ​p​resident supports​,” Psaki said.​

Beth Garvey, who serves special counsel and senior adviser to Cuomo​,​ ​63, ​said in a statement ​Saturday ​that Cuomo “has requested an independent review and all staff will cooperate in that endeavor. Former Federal Judge Barbara Jones will lead the review.”

But that “independent review” was blasted as not so independent.

“Who asked the judge to review the new allegations?” said former “Sex and the City” star Cynthia Nixon, who ran against Cuomo in the last election.  “If the answer is the Cuomo administration itself let’s be clear that’s an inside job, NOT an ‘outside review.’”

Psaki was asked by CNN anchor Dana Bash whether the president believed the allegations from Charlotte Bennett and Lindsey Boylan about Cuomo.

“President Biden has been consistent that he believes that every woman should be heard, should be treated with respect and with dignity​.​ Charlotte should be treated with respect and dignity, so should Lindsey​,” Psaki responded to Bash.​

Charlotte Bennett, 25, who worked as an executive assistant and health policy adviser in the Cuomo administration until she left in November, told The New York Times that the harassment began in the spring of 2020.

The Times reported that Bennett claimed Cuomo, 63, had asked her questions about her sex life, whether her relationships were monogamous, and whether she ever had sex with older men. The interview with the Times was prompted after Bennett reacted to the sexual harassment accusation against Cuomo made by ex-aide Lindsey Boylan on Wednesday by tweeting, “For those wondering what it’s like to work for the Cuomo admin, read @LindseyBoylan’s story.”
