Democrat Michigan Attorney General Refuses to Investigate Gretchen Whitmer Nursing Home PolicyKyle Olson 16 Mar 2021
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) told a group of state senators she would not investigate Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) nursing home policy, claiming it would amount to “a political attack.â€
Republican state Sens. Jim Runestad, Tom Barrett, Ruth Johnson, Kim LaSata, Roger Victory, Lana Theis, Dale Zorn, and Curt VanderWall urged Nessel to look into the policy that led to the coronavirus-related deaths of thousands of elderly residents.
ABC 12 reported “Nessel pointed out that the senators didn’t provide any evidence to support their concerns or allegations.â€

Nessel said her office can’t investigate whether decisions made quickly to contain COVID-19 constituted bad public policy if other alternatives were available. She said the Attorney General’s Office is limited to investigating criminal allegations, but there are none with the nursing home policies.
The senators raised concerns about the ongoing scandal in New York regarding Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s staff understating the number of nursing home deaths related to COVID-19. Nessel said she not aware of evidence showing Whitmer’s administration engaged in similar conduct and the senators didn’t provide any in their letter.
She pointed out that Whitmer’s office responded to a request for nursing home information from the U.S. Department of Justice and she believes that report correctly stated the facts.
