A Republican-led House panel has referred former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution, alleging he lied to Congress about his role in a state report on COVID nursing home deaths.
Cuomo was reportedly responsible for killing thousands of nursing home residents after putting people infected with COVID in their nursing homes without their consent.
The referral, initially made by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in October 2024, accuses Cuomo of making “criminally false statements” during a June 2024 closed-door testimony. The subcommittee, chaired by former Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, claims Cuomo falsely denied involvement in drafting or reviewing a July 2020 New York State Department of Health report that downplayed nursing home deaths and deflected blame onto staff. Documents and witness testimony, including emails and handwritten notes allegedly in Cuomo’s handwriting, suggest he reviewed, edited, and drafted portions of the report, contradicting his testimony.
