Former Governor Andrew Cuomo is facing a new investigation by the Justice Department, initiated by allegations from Congressional Republicans that he misled them about the handling of COVID-19 in nursing homes. This investigation comes just ahead of the Democratic mayoral primary and follows a tumultuous political period for Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 amid controversies over nursing home deaths and multiple sexual harassment allegations. Cuomo's team has expressed suspicion regarding the timing, suggesting possible political motivations linked to the election.
Cuomo's spokesperson questioned the timing of the investigation, suggesting it is an attempt at political interference as the primaries approach, calling it "lawfare and election interference".
The ongoing investigation by the Trump Justice Department follows accusations from Congressional Republicans that Cuomo lied about his handling of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes.
