The U.S. attorney in Brooklyn and the FBI have begun a preliminary investigation into the way New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration handled data about Covid-19 nursing home deaths.
After early praise for his leadership when his state became the U.S. epicenter of the pandemic, the governor is now dealing with accusations of underreporting nursing home deaths.
In recent weeks, the administration revealed that 15,000 long-term care residents have died, up from the 8,500 previously disclosed.
Spokespeople for the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn and the FBI declined to comment Wednesday night.
The Albany Times Union first reported news of the inquiry.
“As we publicly said, DOJ has been looking into this for months. We have been cooperating with them and we will continue to," a senior advisor for the governor, Rich Azzopardi, said Wednesday night.
Last month, state Attorney General Letitia James released a damning report that said the state Health Department underreported the Covid-19 death toll at nursing homes by as much as 50 percent.

The FBI will ensure that Cuomo is cleared and that Trump is blamed.
Obama’s FBI is useless
Oooh. When Commiecast/NBC gets wind of the story, you had better cash in your chips, Prince Andrew...
A guy by the name of Durham perhaps?/sarc
Q-Mo Is one twisted, depraved, monster.
My thoughts exactly.
The FBI will investigate for 2 Days then clear him.
Then onward to the next Republican.
He’s a democrat, and, they protect criminal democrats, so, it’s all good.
Exactly. “Call in the cleaners!”
They will find nothing on Cuomo. However if it was DeSantis, he would be guilty as sin. The FBI’s investigation is just another deep state joke on the American people.
Oh I’m sure he’ll get years in a fed prison for killing thousands of elderly. /s
NBC News reporting on Gov. Cuomo’s shenanigans. Who did Cuomo p*ss-off?
Yep, takes it off the table because ‘under investigation’, then becomes what investigation! Hillary’s email, Biden’s computer, Weiner’s computer.......FBI, it’s the kiss of death to any investigation!
As if any investigations into the Ds since AbScam have been above board. Forgone conclusion.
I really think someone has decided he has to go. Not sure who has that power.
.... Doubt if they are actually “Investigating” ..... They are looking for ways to clear him of any wrongdoing .....
the pic DM used...lolol Cuomo looks half dead
IMO, the best we could hope comes out of this is that Cuomo does something stupid and blatantly interferes with the investigation to the point it cannot be overlooked.
