Report published in March 2022 by the New York State Supervisor Cuom’s health department “He was not transparent in his reporting of Coid-19 fatal groups in nursing homes,” and this “underestimated the number of deaths in nursing homes by as many as 50%” during some pandemic points.
In a letter to the Pam Bonda Attorney General last month, Comer said “According to our knowledge, the Bidel administration neglected this referral despite the clear facts and evidence.” He asked for Bondi to review the recommendation and “take appropriate measures”.
“Andrew Cuomo is a man with a history of corruption and fraud, now captured by a red-bitch lying to Congress during an investigation of a selected sub-select pododora on the Coid-19 Nursing House in New York,” Comer said in a statement on Monday. “This was not slipping-this was a calculated cover-up of a man who wants to protect himself from responsibility for devastating loss of life in nursing homes in New York. Let’s be clear: Lying Congress is a federal crime. Mr. Cuomo must be persecuted to the most extent of the law. Ensure that the Supervisory Board is completely and judiciary.
