“Andrew Cuomo repeatedly lied to Congress, and he must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, stated.
“Both witness testimony and new documents serve as evidence that the former Governor made false statements to the Select Subcommittee during our COVID-19 nursing home investigation,” Wenstrup said. “This deliberate and self-serving attempt to avoid accountability for the thousands of lives lost in New York nursing homes during the pandemic will not stand.”
This goes back to the Cuomo administration’s 2020 mandate that required nursing homes and long-term care facilities to admit COVID-19-positive patients. By the end of the pandemic, more than 17,000 long-term care patients died.
In July 2020, the New York State Department of Health released a report that said nursing home staff were to blame. The committee said its evidence showed Cuomo helped write that report.
In January 2021, New York’s attorney general said Cuomo’s administration underreported long-term care deaths by up to 50%.
The problems for Cuomo continued in January 2021, when New York’s attorney general said Cuomo’s administration underreported long-term care deaths by up to 50%.
Lying to Congress carries a potential five year prison sentence but those accused are rarely charged.
For instance, Republicans referred attorney Michael Avenatti for allegedly lying about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. However, he was never charged.
