Melissa DeRosa Navigates Politics, Power and Crisis

Published: Dec. 12, 2023, 5 a.m.

Melissa DeRosa was the most powerful unelected person in New York State in her position as Secretary to the Governor. She resigned following the Attorney General\u2019s investigation into sexual harassment allegations against Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2021. Now, her book, "What's Left Unsaid: My Life at the Center of Power, Politics & Crisis\u201d reveals her side of the story and includes intimate details of the dramatic events as they unfolded. She shares an unflinching look at her career, the state\u2019s pandemic response and the workings of Cuomo\u2019s inner circle as they attempted to navigate the scandal. DeRosa speaks with Alec Baldwin about what first attracted her to public service, the effect her career has had on her personal life and what she believes was a political takedown of her former boss.\xa0
