DOJ investigating Andrew Cuomo for allegedly lying about COVID decision

简介：

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo over allegations he lied to Congress about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The probe focuses on Cuomo’s March 2020 directive that sent over 9,000 COVID‑positive patients into nursing homes, which critics say worsened outbreaks and deaths. House Republicans previously accused Cuomo of making false statements during a congressional investigation and referred him for prosecution, Fox News has reported. Cuomo, now a frontrunner in the NYC mayoral race, denies wrongdoing and calls the investigation politically motivated.
