House GOP Refers Cuomo for DOJ Probe Over Nursing Home Death Data

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo faces allegations of providing false statements to Congress regarding COVID-19 nursing home fatalities.

House Republicans have sent a criminal referral to the DOJ accusing Cuomo of misleading Congress about his involvement in a report on nursing home deaths.
The report in question undercounted COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes by up to 46%, with Cuomo allegedly making edits to downplay the toll.
Evidence includes emails and draft documents showing Cuomo's handwriting, indicating his active role in revising the report.
Cuomo denied involvement in the report's drafting during a congressional interview, but testimonies from former aides contradict his claims.
The referral cites previous DOJ prosecutions for false statements to Congress, suggesting potential legal action against Cuomo.
