  • Ex-Hochul, Cuomo aide accused of being Chinese spy stays free as feds push new charges in $8M PPE kickback scheme (Linda Sun)

    There’s something new under the sun. Linda Sun, the embattled ex-aide to Govs. Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo accused of being a Chinese spy, will stay free on bail after facing a federal judge Monday on fresh bribery charges. Sun and her husband Chris Hu both pleaded not guilty during a four-minute proceeding in Brooklyn that set the stage for a potentially sprawling trial focused on accusations she served as a foreign agent for the People’s Republic of China and Chinese Community Party while working at the highest level of New York’s government. A federal grand jury last week returned...
  • Unmasked: Former High-Ranking NYS Employee Indicted for COVID-19 PPE Fraud

    A federal grand jury in Brooklyn has added charges against Linda Sun and her husband, Chris Hu in a superseding indictment returned Wednesday. The new charges stem from Sun's alleged participation in a fraudulent scheme involving personal protective equipment (PPE) production during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the scheme, Sun coordinated government contracts with vendors based on undisclosed personal connections. Sun and Hu received millions of dollars from these vendors as a result of successful government contracts during the pandemic. These financial kickbacks were not disclosed to the state. The charges filed against Sun on Wednesday include honest services...

    The New York City mayor's race is this way by design. The polls showing that Zohran Mamdani, a socialist and Muslim terror supporter who only became a citizenship in 2018, could become the mayor of New York City, where his compatriots murdered thousands of Americans, may or may not be true, but there’s no reason why they wouldn’t be. Mamdani is up against Cuomo, a repulsive and widely hated figure that opponents of the Muslim socialist are only getting behind because the alternative is even worse, and then Mayor Eric Adams, whom much of the city probably right believes is...

  • AOC warns Cuomo will use NYC mayoral win as stepping stone to presidency as lefty rep stumps for Zohran Mamdani: ‘Unconscionable’

    Lefty New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns that if former Gov. Andrew Cuomo wins the city’s mayoral race, he will use it as a stepping stone for a presidential bid. “This is not just about New York City, but this is about the United States,” the far-left Dem told an enthusiastic crowd she stumped for fellow socialist and mayoral wannabe Zohran Mamdani at Terminal 5 in Manhattan on Saturday. “I mean that literally, because Andrew Cuomo has made clear that if he wins this race, he wants to run for president of the United States of America,” AOC said. Ocasio-Cortez,...

    A prominent American doctor has gone on the record to blow the whistle on a chilling practice in hospitals across the country that artificially inflated so-called “Covid deaths” during the pandemic by euthanizing patients. The “Covid protocol” was exposed by Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a board-certified Otolaryngologist and Sleep Medicine specialist. The Houston, Texas-based doctor is also the founder of BreatheMD and the author of the book “Dangerous Misinformation: The Virus, the Treatments, and the Lies.” Dr. Bowden is a senior fellow with the Independent Medical Alliance (formerly FLCCC), the founder of Americans for Health Freedom, and she serves on...

    The lights have finally gone out on this project. In an extraordinary fire sale, the state Power Authority is auctioning off a huge storehouse of unused decorative bridge lights — which were supposed to be part of a $106 million project to brighten up the city’s spans by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but which never got installed. With a minimum bid of just $25, the lights are only expected to fetch pennies on the dollar — and leave the state out a massive amount of cash for the failed lighting project, officials told The Post of the sale, which was...

    New York City mayoral front-runner Andrew Cuomo vowed to lead the fight against President Trump, but bizarrely pledged to “spend eight years in Washington” in a bid to help Democrats retake the House. The former governor told Politico he planned to wage the national campaign against the Trump administration — even though the president’s second and final term would come to a close in 2028, or three years into the next mayor’s tenure. “I would spend eight years in Washington — go to that US Conference of Mayors, go to the National Governors Association,” Cuomo said as he detailed his...

    Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued the order in March 2020 that ultimately killed at least 15,000 nursing home residents. Many senior living centers were flooded with COVID patients thanks to Cuomo’s reckless order putting them in senior living facilities instead of other locations that could have protected elderly people. Now, the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into Cuomo, probing whether he lied to Congress about his role in a state policy that led to the deaths of thousands of nursing home residents. The investigation, initiated last month, centers on a controversial March 2020 directive that required...

    Mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo bailed on a planned visit Friday to a Queens senior center as dozens of raging protesters were expected to confront the ex-gov over his botched handling of the nursing homes during the pandemic. About 25 protesters marched in front of Peter Cardella Senior Citizens Center in Ridgewood for over an hour as they eagerly waited to face Cuomo over his administration’s controversial directive to send infected COVID-19 patients into nursing homes — which resulted in thousands of deaths. “I’m still trying to process and come to terms with how to prevent that [a pandemic] from happening...

    Lefty activists pushed a resolution this week to issue a predator warning to schools if Andrew Cuomo is elected mayor. The bizarre political stunt happened Wednesday at the Community Education Council meeting for District 2. The motion called on the city to protect students and staff, specifically from Cuomo. It referenced his 2021 resignation following a report by state Attorney General Letitia James into allegations that he sexually harassed 11 women. “Given the extremely serious nature of the allegations against Cuomo . . . CEC2 urges the City Council to institute protocols to safeguard students and school staff from a...

    A former state employee who accused Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment clinched a $450,000 settlement — with taxpayers set to foot the massive bill as the former governor makes a comeback bid for New York City mayor. Charlotte Bennett, who served as an assistant to Cuomo when he was governor, officially ended a long-running lawsuit Friday against the Empire State. She is slated to receive $100,000 personally with another $350,000 earmarked for her lawyers and legal costs — all of which will be shelled out by the state. The settlement caps a bruising battle with Cuomo, including a separate federal...

    A Big Apple mayoral candidate forum turned ugly for former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Wednesday night when a mob of angry protesters ambushed the stage and chanted, “Cuomo lies, people die.” The disgraced pol, who resigned from the governor’s office in 2021 following a slew of scandals, was answering a question about public safety at the Black Agenda’s Democratic mayoral forum at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn when a horde of demonstrators funneled into the auditorium and stormed the stage. The stunt, which elicited audible groans from the audience, only lasted for a few moments before the NYPD attempted...

    Andrew Cuomo has picked up another key hard hat endorsement Tuesday in the race for New York City mayor, winning the backing of the Laborers’ International Union. The New York affiliate of the Laborers Union represents 40,000 members in New York State, which further cements the former governor’s support within the construction trades. The union backed Cuomo’s rival in the June Democratic primary, former city Comptroller Scott Stringer, in the 2021 mayor’s race. “New York City is the cultural, economic, and social engine of the world—and leading it requires vision, grit, and proven experience,” said Donato Bianco, Jr., LIUNA vice...

    A Republican-led congressional committee sent a letter Monday to Attorney General Pam Bondi re-upping its referral of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for prosecution, accusing him of lying during testimony before the panel as it was investigating the pandemic. The House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., had referred its accusations regarding Cuomo to the Department of Justice last year under the Biden administration. The DOJ, then led by Merrick Garland, did not publicly respond to the committee’s referral. In it, the committee accuses Cuomo of lying when he testified that he was not involved in the...

    The former mayor of Syracuse says then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo forcibly kissed her several times when she was in office, and she angrily describes the encounters as “all about power.’’ Longtime Cuomo foe Stephanie Miner, speaking to The Post on Monday about her new book, “Madam Mayor,” recounted passages in her tome in which she claims she was kissed against her will by the then-governor while they were at loggerheads over policy issues during her two terms. “It was clearly unwanted. It was about power with him,” the Democrat said of the encounters — while blasting Cuomo’s administration as a total...

    Andrew Cuomo and his then-married top aide, Melissa DeRosa, were in an “emotional romantic relationship” while he was New York governor, according to bombshell testimony obtained by The Post. But Cuomo — who is running for New York City mayor — seemingly failed to disclose any such relationship to Attorney General’s Office investigators probing sexual harassment allegations that prompted his resignation in August 2021. Another former Cuomo aide, Josh Vlasto, told the AG’s office that June that DeRosa had confided in him about the relationship, according to an unredacted transcript of his testimony. “There was a conversation with Melissa where...

    Former Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has officially entered the race for New York City mayor, signaling a bold attempt at a political comeback. After resigning in 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations and a tarnished public image, Cuomo is now seeking to reclaim his political influence. With his announcement, the former governor aims to bring his experience in state leadership to the city’s top job. However, his bid will likely face significant opposition as critics and supporters weigh his controversial legacy against his promises for the city's future. On Saturday, Cuomo announced his mayoral bid in a video post...

    Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced Saturday afternoon that he’s entering New York City’s mayoral race, adding a big name to the already busy Democratic primary challenging Mayor Eric Adams (D). “Our city is in crisis. That’s why I am running to be Mayor of New York City,” he wrote on social platform X, along with a video. “We need government to work. We need effective leadership.” He also included a link to his campaign website. Cuomo’s entrance comes as little surprise after months of speculation that he would attempt a political comeback years after resigning as governor...

    Leaders of an advocacy group for nursing home residents who blame ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the COVID-related deaths of thousands of relatives, urged New York City voters to reject his expected comeback bid for mayor. “New York deserves better than Andrew Cuomo, and we’ll be there every step of the way as a reminder,” an open letter to the three-term Democrat drafted by the group Voices for Seniors said. “We will not forget,” the letter, obtained by The Post, said. “Silence is not an option.” Chief among the group’s grievances is the Cuomo administration’s controversial March 25, 2020 edict that...
