Ex-Gov. Cuomo ‘inappropriately influenced’ witness in text message as House probed COVID deaths: memo
NY Post ^ | 25 September A.D. 2024 | Josh Christenson and Vaughn Golden

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo tried to “inappropriately influence” a top aide’s testimony during a congressional investigation into his administration’s disastrous mandate that forced COVID-19 patients into nursing homes, a bombshell new House document claimed.

Witness Jim Malatras said the 66-year-old ex-governor made him “uncomfortable” by calling and texting him as the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic probed the March 25, 2020 “must admit” order for nursing homes, according to new evidence in a subcommittee staff memo exclusively obtained by The Post.

The House COVID panel revealed in a memo earlier this month that Cuomo had reached out to Malatras to “check in” at least once during the course of their investigation...

But in an addendum to that memo released Wednesday, text messages and a letter from Malatras show Cuomo reached out to his ex-aide three times since early 2021 — and always “within 48 hours of the Select Subcommittee taking a specific action in its nursing home investigation.

“This includes one action that was not public and only known by Mr. Cuomo and his counsel,” the addendum states. “The evidence in this Memo supports the finding that former Governor Andrew Cuomo acted in a manner consistent with an attempt to inappropriately influence the testimony of a witness and obstruct the Select Subcommittee’s investigation.”

As a result of Cuomo’s order, 9,000 recovering COVID patients were admitted or re-admitted in senior care facilities statewide, without a requirement to test whether they were positive.

Whitmer was doing the same thing. Cuomo became a threat to the Biden/Harris technocrats after his daily folksy Covid shtick was popular and he gets destroyed in a way no other Dem does, even if it’s deserved here.

Cuomo is a total dirtbag. I only hope justice finds him.
