BOMBSHELL: Cuomo Aide Says They Hid Nursing Home Death Data From Feds

Democrats and the media have held up Andrew Cuomo as a leader on the pandemic for months.

Cuomo wrote a book calling himself a leader and was even given an Emmy for his press conferences.

Now a new explosive report suggests that he engaged in a cover-up.

The New York Post has the story:

Cuomo aide admits they hid nursing home data so feds wouldn’t find out

Governor Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing-home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.

The stunning admission of a cover-up was made by Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa during a video conference call with state Democratic leaders in which she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.

“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said. “He starts going after [New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”

In addition to attacking Cuomo’s fellow Democratic governors, DeRosa said, Trump “directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us.”

“And basically, we froze,” she told the lawmakers on the call.

Janice Dean is the meteorologist who lost her in-laws in a New York nursing home last year.

She says Cuomo should go to jail over this.

This does not look good for Cuomo.
