DOJ opens criminal investigation into Cuomo over COVID testimony to Congress

The US Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into former New York Governor Andrew Como for allegedly lying to congress about his decisions taken during the Covid-19s while working as a ruler, who confirmed a source familiar with the investigation of Fox News.

The New York Times first reported that the US Prosecutor’s Office in Washington opened an investigation into Komo about a month ago after about a month after senior officials in the Ministry of Justice demanded accusation to the mayor of New York City Eric Adams for corruption.

The Ministry of Justice refused to comment on Fox News.

The Trump administration is now in an extraordinary place to end a criminal case against Adams, with a new case in the main competitor of Adams within months of each other.

Cuomo works in the democratic preliminary elections to be the next mayor of New York City, while Adams seeks to re -election as an independent candidate.

“We have never been informed of any such issue, so why does someone leak now? The answer is clear: this is the interference of Lawfare and simple elections – something that President Trump and officials of the Supreme Justice say they are against” Rich Azobardi, the official spokesperson for Como, for Fox News. “The ruler Komo has honestly witnessed his best on the four-year events, and offered to address any follow-up questions from the sub-committee-but from the beginning this was a policy.”

The former ruler was roasted by Republican lawmakers last year about his dealings with the Covid-19s. Republicans in the House of Representatives later recommended the Ministry of Justice to follow up on criminal charges against him. They intended him to lie on to Congress during the investigation of the House of Representatives Supervision Committee in the excessive number of deaths in the nursing house.

Former deputy Brad Winstopp, head of the Spring Committee in the House of Representatives in the Pod Coronverus Virus, said that Komo made multiple false criminal statements to Congress about his dealings with the nursing home scandal in Kovid -19.

Komo, who was ruler at the time, issued a directive in March 2020 and who initially prevented the role of nurturing the elderly from refusing to accept patients who proved positive for Covid-19. The guidance was aimed at liberating the family to sunken hospitals.

More than 9,000 Coronveros patients were launched from hospitals to the role of elderly care under the guidance, which was later canceled amid speculation that he had accelerated the outbreak of the disease.

The eight prosecutors in the case argued that their loved ones were wounded by Covid-19 in the role of the elderly care and Tofiu as a result of the guidance. They accused Komo and his administration of being responsible for their death, as well as being responsible for reporting the number of deaths in New York State in New York State, which resulted from the virus.

Komo has already said that the guidance was based on the centers of control and prevention control (CDC) and centers for medical care and medical services (CMS) at that time.

A report released in March 2022 by New York State decrees, the Ministry of Health in Komo, found “transparent in reporting the death of Covid-19 in the care of the elderly” and “the number of deaths in the sponsorship of the elderly by up to 50 %” during some of the epidemic points.

In a letter to Public Prosecutor Pam Bondi last month, Kumler said, “We knew, the Biden administration ignored this referral despite the facts and clear evidence.” Bondi asked to review the referral and “take the appropriate action.”

“Andrew Komo is a man with a history of corruption and deception, which has now been arrested as a lie to Congress during the investigation of the sub-committee chosen in the tragedy of the Covid-19 nursing house in New York.” “This was not a calculated coverage by a man who seeks to protect himself from responsibility for the destructive loss of life in the role of the elderly in New York. Let’s be clear: lying to Congress is a federal crime.
