“Evidence and witness testimony gathered suggest Mr. Cuomo knowingly and willfully made false statements to the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on numerous occasions.”
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been criminally referred to the Department of Justice by House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) over allegedly false statements Cuomo made to Congress regarding Covid-19 impact on nursing home deaths.
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Comer wrote that the “Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic is examining the United States’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” and that as part of the investigation, the committee “conducted a transcribed interview with the former Governor of the State of New York, Andrew M. Cuomo, who was accompanied by counsel.”
“During the transcribed interview, the Select Subcommittee believes that Mr. Cuomo made false statements about his involvement in and knowledge of the drafting of the July 6 Report,” the letter added.
In a press release addressing the referral, the Oversight Committee stated, “Evidence and witness testimony gathered suggest Mr. Cuomo knowingly and willfully made false statements to the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on numerous occasions about material aspects of New York’s COVID-19 nursing home disaster and the ensuing cover-up.”
