The U.S. Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, following a referral from Rep. James Comer. The inquiry relates to allegations that Cuomo misled lawmakers about his pandemic management, particularly regarding nursing homes during the COVID-19 crisis. Cuomo's spokesperson has denied knowledge of the investigation, labeling it as politically motivated, while highlighting Cuomo's willingness to cooperate. This investigation surfaces amid Cuomo's campaign for New York City mayor and echoes past political tensions surrounding New York leadership.
"The investigation plunges the Justice Department yet again into New York politics as Cuomo runs for New York City mayor."
"Governor Cuomo testified truthfully to the best of his recollection about events from four years earlier."
