Among her many impressive attributes, Sandra Lee has impeccable timing.

Just as her former long-term boyfriend Gov. Andrew Cuomo seems doomed to be taken down by his sexual misconduct scandal, the domestic doyen has moved on with a brand new man.

Sources say that nearly two years after calling it quits with Cuomo — who allegedly brazenly cheated on her during their 14 years together — Lee has gotten together with a European beau, and that the new twosome have been spotted hanging out in St. Tropez this week. (Cuomo has denied the cheating allegations).

On Monday, they dined at the posh L’Opera restaurant, where J. Lo just celebrated her birthday with Ben Affleck, we’re told.

“Between her recent birthday, and feeling great and healthy, Sandra feels especially grateful and blessed for her life right now,” a source close to Lee told Page Six.

Lee will soon be heading on to Monaco for the next leg of her summer tour, sources say.

Meanwhile, Lee who celebrated her 55th birthday last month, has also been feeling proud of a fitness kick she’s been on lately.

She’d been teasing her weight loss journey in the run-up to her July 3 birthday and she debuted her new svelte bod last weekend at the UNICEF Summer Gala in Capri, Italy.

“She has hit her target weight goal of [losing] 30 pounds,. She lost the complete 30. She got the final five pounds off over the past few days, and that was her target weight goal,” an insider said.

In stark contrast, the only thing her former flame Cuomo seems likely to lose is his job.

A probe commissioned by Attorney General Letitia James found that Cuomo used his power to intimidate and sexually harass multiple current and former young female employees in their 20s and 30s. Large swathes of the Democrat establishment, including President Biden, have called for his resignation.

After the report was published, Cuomo once again denied wrongdoing.

Other sources told the Post that Lee is more concerned about the governor’s daughters, whom she considers her own.

“She is a woman’s woman and a mother first and foremost and her love is with Andrew’s daughters, that’s the thing that she truly is concerned about,” the source said.

A rep for Lee did not get back to us.

In a widely panned “analysis” piece, a CNN White House reporter defended and even praised President Joe Biden Wednesday for finding an admittedly legally dubious way to extend a federal eviction moratorium.

Stephen Collinson, who fumed at what he called President Donald Trump’s “degradation of the rule of law” in another piece last year, noted that not even Biden knows if his administration’s overture to renters during the pandemic will pass muster in courts, but claimed Biden had “no choice but to take a chance.”

The moratorium expired on July 31, so the White House engineered what Collinson called “a classic Washington fudge — not unfamiliar in an era of Capitol Hill gridlock — in which presidents, especially Democrats, have improvised with executive power to shield constituencies from consequences of a malfunctioning political system.”

PSAKI DISMISSES CONCERNS OVER LEGALITY OF BIDEN’S RENEWED EVICTION MORATORIUM

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention drafted a new eviction moratorium to protect tenants in counties with “substantial and high levels of transmission” of COVID-19, which amounted to almost the entire country. The Supreme Court stipulated last year, though, that the CDC could only be extended if given authority by Congress; Justice Brett Kavanaugh specifically argued unilateral extension by the CDC would be unconstitutional while siding with keeping it in place through its July expiration.

Biden admitted to reporters Tuesday that the “bulk of constitutional scholars” said it wasn’t legal and it was simply a ploy to buy time to allocate monies to renters and leasers. While the Washington Post”s Aaron Blake cringed at Biden’s logic – “a heck of a way to do the country’s business” – Collins said Biden had “averted a humanitarian crisis.”

“Politically, the spectacle of potentially millions of Americans being turned out of their homes would be an impossible one for any White House, let alone a Democratic administration built on the principle of using government power to alleviate the plight of poorer Americans. So, Biden had to do something,” he wrote.

He added it was a “viable political strategy” to pass blame onto Republicans if citizens were eventually booted out of their apartments and complained that the Supreme Court was “specifically constructed to counter the aspirations of an activist liberal government.”

Last year, Collinson fumed that Trump had put “the degradation of the rule of law” at the center of his re-election campaign, which wasn’t lost on critics of his latest piece online. In another article last year, he fretted over Trump’s “assault on constitutional norms.”

Critics lit into CNN for Collinson’s piece that seemingly excused Biden breaking the law because he agreed with the end result.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald, a frequent corporate media critic, tweeted, “Four straight years of corporate media and liberal politicians (excuse the redundancy) pretending to care so deeply about the rule of law above all else — including those who served in past lawless administrations — only to now have headlines like this one above.”

“I don’t think the tone here would be so restrained” if the piece had been about Trump, author Daniel Darling tweeted.

“Bold and decisive lawlessness,” quipped Commentary’s Noah Rothman.

Collinson penned another piece in March saying an infrastructure bill was a “window into Biden’s soul.” Another “analysis” praised Biden’s “moderate radicalism” ahead of his April address to Congress.

Two women who helped found the anti-harassment group Time’s Up during the height of the #MeToo Movement helped New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo‘s office in drafting a letter that smeared one of his accusers and “impugned her credibility,” the state attorney general said in her bombshell report Tuesday.

Cuomo, a Democrat, is facing widespread calls to resign or be removed from office after state Attorney General Letitia James concluded her monthslong investigation Tuesday, saying he sexually harassed 11 women, including current and former state employees, from 2013 to 2020 in violation of state and federal law.

In her 165-page report, James said Cuomo and a group of advisers drafted a letter in December 2020 in response to allegations by the governor’s first accuser, former aide Lindsey Boylan, who said he sexually harassed her and created a toxic work environment.

“The letter denied the legitimacy of Ms. Boylan’s allegations, impugned her credibility, and attacked her claims as politically motivated (including with theories about connections with supporters of President Trump and a politician with an alleged interest in running for Governor),” James said in her report.

Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa, testified that the governor first drafted the letter by hand, though the governor denied having any memory of writing it and only said he participated in the drafting process. 

According to James, DeRosa testified that she had reservations about the letter and thought it would backfire, so Cuomo instructed her to seek further input from attorney Roberta Kaplan, who co-founded the Time’s Up legal defense fund with CEO Tina Tchen. Kaplan also serves as legal counsel for DeRosa.

“According to Ms. DeRosa, Ms. Kaplan read the letter to the head of the advocacy group Times Up [Tchen], and both of them allegedly suggested that, without the statements about Ms. Boylan’s interactions with male colleagues, the letter was fine,” James said in her report. 

“Ms. DeRosa reported back to the Governor that Ms. Kaplan and the head of Times Up thought the letter was okay with some changes, as did [Cuomo ally Steve] Cohen, but everyone else thought it was a bad idea.”

James’ report said the letter was never made public after Cuomo’s team failed to convince anyone to sign it.

“Several people whom the Governor’s advisors asked to sign the letter were uncomfortable with what it said about Ms. Boylan” and some even said it amounted to victim-shaming and retaliation, the report said.

When speaking about the letter in his testimony, Cuomo compared himself to Abraham Lincoln, saying the former president would write a response to an article that infuriated him and then throw it out, and that “like Lincoln, the writing process was cathartic for him,” the report said.

Time’s Up responded to the development about its founders in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Before any allegations were made against Governor Cuomo, in 2019, Time’s Up worked with his administration to pass the Time’s Up/NY Safety Agenda. In December 2020, Tina was asked to give her perspective on a public response to Ms. Boylan’s allegations,” a spokesperson said.

“Although Tina made no recommendations as to what he should do, she shared the stance Time’s Up has always taken in these matters,” the spokesperson continued. “She was clear that any response coming from the Governor’s office addressing the allegations would be insufficient and unacceptable if it did not acknowledge the experiences of the women who came forward, and that it should in no way shame or discredit the women.”

A high-powered CNN executive with close ties to embattled New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo could be the reason why the network has taken it easy on the “Cuomo Prime Time” namesake for his role in the governor’s ongoing sexual harassment scandal, according to Fox News contributor Ari Fleischer. 

CNN continues to take heat for fawning over Gov. Cuomo before his swift fall from grace and failing it punish the network’s most-watched host, Chris Cuomo, for advising his big brother as allegations of sexual harassment poured in. CNN’s most-watched host offered his brother advice and even drafted a statement to respond to the allegations against him in February and isn’t allowed to cover his brother on air. 

“CNN has a real ethical problem on its hands,” Fleischer said Wednesday on “American’s Newsroom.”

“The fact that the upper management at CNN, starting with Jeff Zucker the president of CNN, has not disciplined Chris Cuomo, the anchor for his taking a hand in guiding his governor brother through all this, the fact that a CNN anchor actively helped cover up what the governor was doing and worked on message points for the governor to deliver, this is a real ethical problem and CNN is taking no action,” Fleischer continued. “One of the reasons why, and I just have to point this out to the viewers, do you know who is in charge of communications at CNN? Governor Cuomo’s former communications director Allison Gollust.”

Gollust, now CNN’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer, was appointed Cuomo’s communications director in 2012 before bolting to join Zucker four months later at CNN.

“She now runs the show, she’s the No. 2 to Jeff Zucker at CNN,” Fleischer said. “One of the reasons why CNN has not taken any disciplinary action against journalist Chris Cuomo is because of the relationship she has with Governor Andrew Cuomo.” 

Gollust did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 

Gollust became close to Zucker after a 15-year tenure at NBC before her work in the Cuomo administration and has since been floated as a candidate to eventually replace Zucker atop the liberal network. 

Chris Cuomo was initially prevented by CNN when he joined in 2013 from covering his brother, but the network lifted the ban and allowed them to crack jokes and perform prop comedy during the early month of the coronavirus pandemic. The network reinstated the ban when the governor became wrapped up in multiple scandals. The ban puts CNN in a peculiar situation, as the host of the network’s 9 p.m. ET program isn’t allowed to cover one of the top political stories in the country.

Earlier this year, the “Cuomo Prime Time” host apologized to his CNN colleagues on air for putting them in a “bad spot” when his role in the governor’s scandal was first reported. CNN did not discipline him and he ignored the bombshell story on Tuesday following the state’s attorney general releasing a report that Gov. Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women. 

Fox News’ David Rutz contributed to this report. 

The Pentagon police officer who was killed after an assailant stabbed him in the neck at a metro hub outside the Department of Defense headquarters was identified Wednesday as George Gonzalez, a native New Yorker who previously served in Iraq. 

Gonzalez joined the Pentagon Force Protection Agency as a police officer on July 22, 2018. A military and police veteran, he had served previously with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Army.

He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for his service in Iraq. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he was a die-hard Yankees fan, the Pentagon Protection Agency said in a statement. He was a graduate of New York City’s Canarsie High School. 

“As a Pentagon Police officer, he took our mission of ‘protecting those who protect our nation’ to heart,” the agency said. “He was promoted twice and attained the rank of Senior Officer in 2020. A gregarious officer, he was well-liked and respected by his fellow officers.” 

“Officer Gonzalez embodied our values of integrity and service to others,” the statement continued. “As we mourn the loss of Officer Gonzalez, our commitment to serve and protect is stronger. Officer Gonzalez’s family is in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.” 

PENTAGON POLICE OFFICER KILLED IN ATTACK OUTSIDE THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HEADQUARTERS 

The metro hub outside the Pentagon remained closed early Wednesday, as many questions still surround a burst of violence that happened there a day earlier that left the officer dead after being stabbed in the neck and a suspect killed by ensuing gunfire from responding law enforcement. 

More than 100 officers lined up outside the emergency room at George Washington University Hospital Tuesday, before members of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, U.S. Park Police and Pentagon Protection Agency were ordered to stand at attention around 1:30 p.m. to salute a black transport van as it rolled slowing out of the parking lot, Fox 5 DC reported. A police motorcade followed to pay tribute to the fallen officer. 

The FBI is leading the investigation. Authorities have not formally identified the suspect who allegedly stabbed the officer in the neck in an ambush style attack on a bus platform shortly after 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. But the Associated Press identified the assailant as Austin William Lanz, 27, of Georgia.

“Gunfire was exchanged” on the platform, resulting in “several casualties,” Woodrow Kusse, the chief of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, which is responsible for security in the facility, said Tuesday. Responding officers then shot and killed Lanz. No potential motive has been announced. 

Fox 5 DC reported that two bystanders may also have been injured by gunfire. Speaking at the only public address since the incident so far, Kusse also said Tuesday afternoon that the Pentagon complex was secure and “we are not actively looking for another suspect at this time.” 

Lanz was arrested in April in Cobb County, Georgia, on criminal trespassing and burglary charges, the Associated Press reported, citing online court records. The same day, a separate criminal case was filed against Lanz with six additional charges, including two counts of aggravated battery on police, a count of making a terrorist threat and a charge for rioting in a penal institution, the records show.

A judge reduced his bond in May to $30,000 and released him, imposing some conditions, including that he not ingest illegal drugs and that he undergo a mental health evaluation. The charges against him were still listed as pending. A spokesman for the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Lanz had been previously held at the agency’s detention center but referred all other questions to the FBI’s field office in Washington.

Lanz had enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in October 2012 but was “administratively separated” less than a month later and never earned the title Marine, the Corps said in a statement.

The Pentagon Force Protection Agency issued a statement later Tuesday confirming the loss of the still unidentified officer, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin offered condolences and said flags at the Pentagon will be flown at half-staff.

“This fallen officer died in the line of duty, helping protect the tens of thousands of people who work in — and who visit — the Pentagon on a daily basis,” Austin said in a statement. “This tragic death today is a stark reminder of the dangers they face and the sacrifices they make. We are forever grateful for that service and the courage with which it is rendered.”
