Governor Andrew Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa, who admitted to state Democratic lawmakers that the governor’s administration withheld vital data on nursing home deaths from the U.S. Department of Justice while they were under investigation, now says that they were “comprehensive and transparent” in responding to requests for information from the Justice Department.
New York, along with three other states, was under investigation for the excessive number of deaths that occurred in nursing homes during the pandemic. DeRosa said in the call that the withheld data could “be used against us” in any legal proceeding.
Well, yes, but for what other reason would a criminal deliberately withhold evidence?
“We were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation,” DeRosa told the lawmakers.
But today, Cuomo’s office is singing a different tune.

“Nothing to see here, move along.”
Follow the money.
Did she wake up to find a horse head in her bed just before she misremembered?
BS.
She was probably told by Cuomo and his henchmen “If you dont want to be sleeping with the fishes, retract what you just said”
🐿 Too late. Cat is out of the bag.
Lies, damnable lies, and eyewitnesses...
Of course........
Well of course she did!
What did people expect would happen once her admission came to light?
DUH! >This< is white!
I can only imagine the fire and rage on the second floor or in the Mansion this morning.. the psycho, neurotic, despot is probably apoplectic.. GOOD!
Sorry. This is one Genie you cannot put back into the bottle. I’m sure Cuomo chewed her ears off.
“What the **** are you doing???”
Yeah - right.
If you were a normal citizen think you could walk back a statement like that?
This makes it look even worse.
Someone got to her; her life/family was threatened.
Walks it back...on the advice of her attorney.
Too late now.
Big fish wrapped in newspaper on the front porch.
It's not just for dinner anymore.
Democrats saw Covid as an opportunity to cull seniors on state support. Save money. Redirect to left wing causes. Euthanasia. Not complicated.
