New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is calling for Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo to be prosecuted for withholding data on COVID-19 nursing home deaths. The move comes after a New York Post report that a Cuomo aide had apologized to Democrats over the data, which they say was withheld to prevent federal scrutiny from the Trump Justice Department.
The aide said the scrutiny was a politically motivated attempt to blame Democratic states for COVID-19 deaths. Republicans across the Empire State are calling for investigations and even for Cuomo to be impeached.
