DOJ opens investigation into Andrew Cuomo over NY nursing home deaths testimony - report | 20 May 2025 | The Justice Department has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into former New York Governor  Andrew Cuomo for allegedly lying to Congress about the nursing home deaths in the Empire State during the COVID-19 pandemic. The probe into the New York City mayoral front runner was launched about a month ago by the Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney's Office, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the matter. The office was led at the time by Ed Martin, who was replaced earlier this month by Jeanine Pirro. The Republican-led panel House Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue criminal charges against Cuomo, a Democrat, for making "criminally false statements" during a June 11, 2024, interview with the House COVID subcommittee.
