The United States Department of Justice has launched an investigation into former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. The probe will focus on Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly his administration’s decisions regarding nursing homes in New York. The investigation comes after several allegations and controversies surrounding the former governor’s management of the pandemic response.
The Justice Department is examining whether Cuomo’s administration deliberately misled the public and federal authorities about the number of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes. The inquiry will also look into whether any federal laws were violated during the pandemic.
Cuomo, who resigned from office in August 2021 amid allegations of sexual harassment, has consistently denied any wrongdoing in his handling of the pandemic. He has defended his administration’s actions, stating that they followed federal guidelines and did their best under unprecedented circumstances.
The investigation is still in its early stages, and it remains unclear what the potential outcomes might be. The Justice Department has not yet commented on the specifics of the probe or any timeline for its completion.
