The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for allegedly lying to Congress about nursing home deaths that took place in the state during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report from the New York Times.
The investigation into Cuomo — who is currently attempting a political comeback with a New York City mayoral campaign — was launched about a month ago by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Columbia. The office was led at the time by Ed Martin, who was recently reassigned within the DOJ and replaced by Jeanine Pirro after Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) refused to support his nomination.
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee previously asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue criminal charges against Cuomo for making “criminally false statements” during a June 11, 2024, interview with the House COVID subcommittee, two sources familiar with the investigation told the New York Times.
“Overwhelming evidence uncovered by the Select Subcommittee proves that Mr. Cuomo reviewed, edited, and even drafted portions of a purportedly independent and peer-reviewed New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Report that was used to combat criticism of his Administration’s pandemic-era nursing home policies,” House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) wrote in an April 25 press release.
