Cuomo Faces Calls for Investigation Over Nursing Home Report

Families of COVID-19 victims are demanding a federal investigation into former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, claiming he lied to Congress regarding a report that downplayed nursing home deaths during the pandemic. Recent emails indicate that Cuomo not only reviewed but also edited the 2020 New York State Department of Health report, contradicting his earlier statements that he was unaware of it. The families, led by Peter Arbeeny, Vivian Zayas, and Janice Dean, argue that Cuomo's actions warrant accountability and should be thoroughly investigated by the Department of Justice. They contend that if Cuomo knowingly misled Congress, he should face legal repercussions. Cuomo's spokesperson has dismissed the accusations as politically motivated, while some Democratic politicians have joined calls for greater accountability regarding his conduct during the pandemic. The ongoing scrutiny of Cuomo's actions raises significant questions about transparency and responsibility in public office.
