As secretary to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Melissa DeRosa held the state's most powerful nonelected office during the COVID-19 pandemic.

She ultimately stepped down after Cuomo found himself fighting back against sexual harassment allegations.

DeRosa joined News 12's Senior Reporter Tara Rosenblum for a revealing and emotional hourlong interview that touched on all things politics and personal - including her new memoir, "What's Left Unsaid: My Life at the Center of Power, Politics & Crisis."

"I decided I was going to write this book 24 hours after we were out of office. And there's one simple reason why - because the truth matters," she says. "I feel like the public, particularly the people of the state of New York, given the consequences of the pandemic, given the consequences of a government being overturned, have a right to know from the people who lived it exactly what was going on during those two years."
