Cuomo Under DOJ Investigation for COVID Testimony | JQJO

The Justice Department has launched an investigation into former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's testimony to Congress regarding COVID-19 nursing home deaths. The probe follows a Republican-led House referral alleging Cuomo lied under oath, claiming he wasn't involved in drafting a state report on the issue, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. Cuomo's spokesperson calls the investigation politically motivated. This action comes after the DOJ dropped charges against mayoral rival Eric Adams, a decision that sparked controversy and accusations of a quid pro quo. The timing of the Cuomo investigation, close to the mayoral election, has fueled further speculation about political interference.
