Andrew Cuomo is under federal investigation for allegedly misleading Congress about COVID-19-related nursing home data as he eyes a comeback in New York City's 2025 mayoral election. The scrutiny involves past statements made during a House Oversight Committee hearing, particularly regarding a July 2020 health report on nursing home infections and deaths. As Cuomo seeks to regain political ground after resigning in disgrace in 2021, his team contends that the investigation is a politically motivated attack, labeling it as election interference. This probe adds complexity and volatility to an already tumultuous mayoral race.
The Department of Justice is examining whether the former governor gave false testimony to Congress regarding a New York State Department of Health report on COVID-19.
Cuomo's camp swiftly framed the probe as a political hit, alleging it is motivated by election interference targeting his upcoming mayoral campaign.
