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.”
