Cuomo admin bought half a billion dollars of medical equipment during the pandemic it never used: damning audit
Story by Vaughn Golden • 11h

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo spent almost $453 million during the COVID-19 pandemic stockpiling medical equipment such as ventilators that have almost entirely gone unused, a damning new audit by the state comptroller found.

State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli found that only three items out of thousands purchased by the former governor’s office were ever sent out to hospitals, according to the report.
 
“New York state bought hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of medical equipment at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, including ventilators and x-ray machines, that now sits unused in storage facilities across the state, missing recommended maintenance and costing taxpayers storage expenses,” DiNapoli wrote in a statement.
 
The audit found that DOH’s stockpile, called the medical emergency response cache, grew from around 4,800 pieces of equipment before the pandemic, to 252,000 items now.

Cuomo was crying for ventilators, prompting Trump to push for the manufacture of more. Turns out he has 15,000 on the shelf. He also was responsible for putting COVID patients in nursing homes which were not equipped for isolation of those who were ill, but were crammed full of people with multiple comorbidities who had been on a 'healthy' diet (low in red meat, the primary dietary source of zinc).

The result? The old folks, isolated from kinfolk support and visitation, died like flies.

His actions, imho, were a crime against humanity.

Andrew Cuomo Criminally Referred To DOJ

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now facing possible criminal prosecution after House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) formally referred him to the Department of Justice for allegedly lying under oath to Congress during testimony related to New York’s COVID-19 nursing home crisis.

The referral, reissued Monday, accuses Cuomo of knowingly making false statements to the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic regarding his administration’s role in producing a state health department report that downplayed nursing home fatalities and deflected blame onto staff members.

“Andrew Cuomo is a man with a history of corruption and deceit, now caught red-handed lying to Congress during the Select Subcommittee’s investigation into the COVID-19 nursing home tragedy in New York,” Comer said. “This wasn’t a slip-up—it was a calculated cover-up by a man seeking to shield himself from responsibility for the devastating loss of life in New York’s nursing homes. Let’s be clear: lying to Congress is a federal crime. Mr. Cuomo must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Chairman Comer’s referral, addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi, comes after what Republicans describe as inaction from the Biden-era Department of Justice, which did not pursue criminal charges despite a previous referral issued in October 2024. That initial referral included what lawmakers say is extensive evidence proving Cuomo not only misled Congress but played a direct role in altering a July 2020 New York State Department of Health report—an action he denied under oath.

What is confusing about this is EVERY Democrat lies to Congress under oath, especially Fauci and Mayorkas. And nothing ever happens.

If America is going to start seriously charging people for lying under oath, they are going to have to deal with dozens of cases which go back decades.

Andrew Cuomo ... a leader who had enough free time during Covid-19 to write a book of crap.
