Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David Fired For Allegedly Advising Cuomo On Scandal Response

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The fallout continues after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's resignation over sexual harassment allegations.

The Human Rights Campaign, a leading LGBTQ advocacy group, has fired its president.

The group's board said it fired Alphonso David after a report revealed he advised the Cuomo administration in responding to one of Cuomo's accusers.

The board said David violated its conflict of interest policy.

David said in a statement the board acted unjustly and should expect a legal challenge.
