Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s testimony regarding his awareness of a report deflecting blame for COVID deaths in nursing homes is now under scrutiny, with evidence suggesting a calculated effort to avoid accountability.
Emails unveiled that Cuomo had reviewed and contributed to early drafts of the controversial report, contradicting his claims of ignorance during congressional testimony, prompting calls for a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
Political analysts believe the criminal referral poses a significant risk to Cuomo’s political ambitions, particularly as he is contemplating a run for mayor of New York City, potentially undermining his credibility.
Experts suggest that despite the House's referral for prosecution, the Justice Department may not be obligated to pursue the case, highlighting that such referrals often function similarly to public statements rather than binding legal actions.
