Gov. Andrew Cuomo's attorney Elkan Abramowitz has made an appearance in HBO's "Allen v. Farrow."
The docuseries chronicles accusations of sexual abuse made against director Woody Allen involving his then-7-year-old daughter, Dylan. Allen has repeatedly denied the allegations.
The custody trial between Allen and Dylan's mother, Mia Farrow, is also addressed, as is the filmmaker's relationship with Farrow's daughter Soon-Yi.
In the third episode of the docuseries, which aired on Sunday, footage featuring Allen with Abramowitz, who was defending him in his sexual abuse case at the time, is featured.

According to Time magazine, Abramowitz once told the "Today" show that Dylan was "a pawn in a huge fight between" Allen and Farrow and claimed that "the idea that she was molested was implanted in her by her mother."
He added: "In my view she's not lying; I think she truly believes this happened. That's what the vice of this is. When you implant a story in a fragile seven-year-old's mind, it stays there forever, it never goes away."

Despite his representing against sexual misconduct claims, Abramowitz is not working on the allegations of such misconduct made against the politician by multiple women, a rep for Cuomo told Business Insider.

Allen and Cuomo aren't Abramowitz's only high-profile clients, as he's also represented disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein as well.
