The Justice Department’s (DOJ) reported probe into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City, is drawing accusations of political interference.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., has launched an investigation into the former governor over his testimony last year concerning his nursing home policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to multiple reports.
The move, which The Hill has reached out to confirm, comes after the Trump administration had bribery charges dropped against sitting Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent in the same race.
The main issue apparently drawing DOJ scrutiny is far from new.
Cuomo, in his last year as governor in 2021, faced allegations that he intentionally underreported the number of deaths in nursing homes during the pandemic.
Cuomo denied wrongdoing and argued that he and other governors were simply following federal guidance. But New York Attorney General Letitia James found his administration significantly miscounted the number of nursing home deaths. A Biden-era DOJ inspector general report later concluded that Cuomo’s policies were similar to that of other states, and that he and other Democratic governors’ states were politically targeted for investigations.
But a Republican-led report from a House subcommittee investigating the U.S. handling of the pandemic found in September that Cuomo committed “wrongdoing”, and Cuomo testified before the committee, defending his record.
The committee referred Cuomo to the DOJ for prosecution, accusing him of lying to the panel about his policies. Another GOP-led House panel sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi last month, reupping the request for Cuomo to be prosecuted.

Many Thousands of them.
The sHill's inate slant is disgraceful of course. Just report the news for crying out loud.
Ironic. They didn’t seems to see political interference when they were going after Trump.
The conservative talking heads seem pretty certain that Cuomo will win in spite of his history of mass murder.
“The U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., has launched an investigation into the former governor over his testimony last year concerning his nursing home policies during the COVID-19 pandemic,”
Include MI governor WHitler in this too who did the same thing regarding nursing homes, railroad that lying skank (FBI scandal too) as she prepares to run for POTUS in 2027 sometime.
Lets not forget this scumbag left Samaritans purse tent setup in central park and the hospital ship sent by trump to alleviate the hospital overload WAS LEFT EMPTY deliberately! Also I know personally a head nurse in a nursing home was told if you dont allow us to unload the infected into your nursing home you will be fired on the spot
It only raises questions to the Democrats and the guilty. Everyone else is fine with it.
Transparency is like a two way mirror to democrats and thier misgivings and crimes are on the side they can’t see.
We see you!
I thought it was about his lying under oath about taht.
Murder is murder and should be procesecuted as such. You should not be exempted just because your a democrat.
When it’s dems investigating Republicans, usually with no basis, it’s noble, but when the opposite occurs, usually with cause, it’s politically motivated. People finally are starting to realize what the dems actually are, a criminal organization.
Weird that they never called any of the false Impeachments or rogue judicial acts “political interference”
Intrastate murder is not under the jurisdiction of the FBI.
Ha! Did the Hill think it was political interference when Lawfare was used against President Trump?
Whiny ass DemonRATS accusing GOOBers of “political interference.” ROTFL! President Trump needs to jail all of their asses just for bringing up “political interference” after the “political interference hell they have forced him to live in for the past 10 years. Screw them jackasses. Let them throw their tantrums and drop their “F” bombs.
