House COVID panel will refer Andrew Cuomo to DOJ for ‘criminally false statements’ on NY nursing home death report
A US House committee will refer former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice for making “criminally false statements” about a state audit that undercounted nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Post has learned.
The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic is accusing Cuomo of falsely saying that he was not involved in prompting, drafting or reviewing the July 6, 2020, report, which low-balled the state’s total nursing home COVID death count by 46%, according to a draft of the criminal referral to Attorney General Merrick Garland.
In a tit-for-tat legal exchange, Cuomo filed his own criminal referral against the subcommittee on Wednesday, alleging that it was acting “in violation of the principles of federalism.”
