Andrew Cuomo Appears Before House COVID Panel

Former New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo will appear before a House select committee Tuesday to answer questions about his state’s high number of nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The GOP-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic will question Cuomo behind closed doors. The transcribed testimony marks the first time the former governor is officially interviewed by congressional investigators, the New York Post reported.

A main focus for the panel will be Cuomo’s order that New York nursing homes accept COVID-positive patients. It’s likely lawmakers also will ask about the former governor writing a $5 million profit-making book about his response to COVID-19 in the middle of the pandemic.
