On Wednesday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s replacement, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, hinted that she may release nursing home data related to the COVID-19 pandemic that was hidden by Cuomo and other Democrats.
Hochul gave her first press conference since Cuomo’s resignation on Wednesday and was asked about the nursing home scandal by one reporter. The data in question has not been released yet and it has to do with how Cuomo forced nursing homes to take in COVID-19 positive patients which led to many deaths.
“My administration will be fully transparent when I am governor,” Hochul responded. “I am not governor yet.”
The Daily Wire reports:
Cuomo’s nursing home policy resulted in thousands of deaths among those most vulnerable to COVID-19. Cuomo and his aides attempted to cover up the failure by altering a report to cut the number of deaths in half. Cuomo still faces investigations into the scandal, including how the report being altered related to Cuomo’s book about pandemic “leadership.”
Hochul’s response comes after it was reported that prior to resigning, Cuomo attempted to cut a deal with state legislators to avoid impeachment if he agreed to not run for a fourth term more than a year from now.
