Long Island hospital chair fired just hours after revealing thieves stole FBI probe docs from his home in growing scandal: ‘Hochul wanted my head’

Nassau’s Health Commissioner, Dr. Irina Gelman, will replace Bruderman, whose term was originally set to expire in 2027.

Blakeman praised Gelman as “a healthcare professional who’s shown the highest level of professionalism throughout her career,” and called her “uniquely qualified to lead the NUMC board as both a member and its new chair.

“I was told if I didn’t resign today, like a coward, I would be removed. I was told [Gov.] Kathy Hochul wanted my head for exposing the corruption and previously supporting Lee Zeldin.

After he ditched the FBI docs, Bruderman said he was shocked
by his firing and feels he is the “victim” of a political scandal.

🚨EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announces that $20 billion in taxpayer funds were just discovered, laundered into in external financial institutions managed by agents of the Biden Admin to finance left wing NGOs.
