House Republicans Urge DOJ to Prosecute Andrew Cuomo Over Alleged False Testimony

Overview

  • The House Oversight Committee has renewed its criminal referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging prosecution of Andrew Cuomo for allegedly lying to Congress about his involvement in a July 2020 nursing home COVID-19 death audit.
  • Cuomo testified he had no role in drafting or reviewing the report, but evidence, including emails and handwritten edits, suggests he participated in its preparation.
  • The 2020 audit reportedly undercounted nursing home COVID-19 deaths by 46%, which GOP lawmakers claim was a deliberate effort to shield Cuomo from accountability.
  • The Justice Department under Merrick Garland declined to act on a similar referral last year; Bondi is now considering the renewed request.
  • Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 following unrelated misconduct allegations, denies the accusations and is currently campaigning for New York City mayor.
