The GOP wants answers.
Washington, D.C. – House Republicans are turning up the heat on former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, demanding the Department of Justice bring criminal charges for what they describe as “deliberately false statements” made to Congress during a federal investigation into COVID-era nursing home deaths.
🚨 SHOCKING FINDINGS REVEALED 🚨
GOP lawmakers say they have overwhelming proof that Cuomo was personally involved in editing and promoting a July 2020 report that severely undercounted COVID-related fatalities in senior care facilities—by over 40%. The scandal centers on Cuomo’s now-infamous order forcing COVID-positive patients into nursing homes, a policy that may have led to thousands of avoidable deaths among elderly Americans.
👉 Why It Matters to You:
For many American families—especially those with aging parents or loved ones in care—this isn’t just a political story. It’s about truth, transparency, and accountability for decisions that impacted the lives of our most vulnerable citizens.
Cuomo Accused of Lying to Congress
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is leading the charge, renewing a criminal referral to the DOJ. Comer says Cuomo knowingly misled Congress under oath, which could carry up to five years in prison per offense.
“Andrew Cuomo wasn’t just irresponsible—he deliberately hid the truth,” said Comer. “This was a cover-up to dodge accountability for one of the most deadly decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Emails and Handwritten Notes Tell a Damning Story
Despite Cuomo’s claims that he had “no involvement” in drafting the July 2020 nursing home death report, investigators obtained email chains and handwritten edits that directly contradict his sworn testimony.
📂 Evidence includes:
- Cuomo’s personal margin notes adjusting death counts
- Edits replacing the word “death” with softer language
- Discussions among top aides about the political fallout
One internal email even referenced fears that the death toll would become a “great debacle in the history books”—a phrase that multiple witnesses testified was dictated by Cuomo himself.
Families Still Seeking Justice
Cuomo’s directive, issued on March 25, 2020, forced COVID-infected patients back into elder care facilities—without mandatory testing. By the time the policy was finally revoked in May, the damage had been done. Thousands of seniors were exposed, and more than 9,000 lives were lost in nursing homes and hospitals combined.
💔 Many families still haven’t received answers.
Cuomo Claims Political Retaliation—But the Facts Say Otherwise
Cuomo has fired back, accusing House Republicans and conservative media figures of orchestrating a political attack. But legal experts and former staff have confirmed that Cuomo’s own actions—and documents—tell a very different story.
“This is just more election-year nonsense,” said Cuomo’s spokesman Rich Azzopardi. But Oversight Committee staff maintain that Cuomo’s lies are now a matter of public record.
“The evidence speaks for itself. The truth can’t be buried,” said Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), former chair of the House COVID subcommittee.
Why This Story Matters Now
With talk of a Cuomo political comeback heating up, conservatives across the country are demanding accountability. As America prepares for another critical election cycle, holding failed leaders accountable for their pandemic policies is more important than ever.
📌 Remember This: When government leaders put politics over public safety—innocent people suffer. It’s time for justice.
