Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo personally altered a state review that lowballed the nursing home COVID-19 death count, emails detailed in a new report show – a revelation that directly contradicts his claims he had nothing to do with it.
Emails and congressional documents undercut Cuomo’s defiant assertion during a summer congressional grilling that he never saw or even had any memory of the state Health Department report, the New York Times first reported.
“Governor’s edits are attached for your review,” Cuomo’s assistant wrote to the then-governor’s senior staff in June 2020, the Times report states.
Cuomo wasn’t sworn in under oath for his closed-door testimony this year, but was told that he could face criminal prosecution if he knowingly made false statements, according to a transcript.

It goes a lot deeper than that. He was one of the first ones hollering for ventilators (30,000 alone for NYC). And MORE hospital beds, etc.
Trump sent in the Hospital ship and set up a multimillion dollar hospital tent in NYC....they went virtually unused. Those ventilators? Trump help rush contracts through to build more and they ended up basically as unused scrap for sale, IIRC.
The CoupFlu death count...
That may not be a lie.
In any case, Congress doesn’t care.
Trump did something else.
In mid March of 2020, Trump had the CMS relax regs that allowed residential care facilities the ability to refuse to take back sick CoupFlu patients from the hospital.
In May, Cuomo ordered them sent back anyway.
Facilities that were now allowed ro refuse took them back anyway.
Why?
Notice that Congress will not ask that question.
He killed at least 19,000 people.
