Andrew Cuomo failed to account for 4,100 nursing home deaths during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe audit found that Health Department officials at times underreported the full death toll by as much as 50 percent from April 2020 to February 2021, as Mr. Cuomo faced increasing scrutiny over whether his administration had\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/o\/prwYW\/https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/28\/nyregion\/cuomo-aides-nursing-home-deaths.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intentionally concealed the actual number of deaths,<\/a>\u201d\u00a0reported the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/prwYW#selection-547.0-547.225\"><em>New York Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>New York state comptroller\u00a0Thomas P. DiNapoli called the 41-page report showing that the Health Department would support Andrew Cuomo\u2019s narrative by suppressing the death \u201cextremely troubling,\u201d charging that the public was intentionally misled:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Families have a right to know if their loved one\u2019s COVID-19 death was counted, but many still don\u2019t have answers from the state Department of Health. Our audit findings are extremely troubling. The public was misled by those at the highest level of state government through distortion and suppression of the facts when New Yorkers deserved the truth.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic is not over, and I am hopeful the current administration will make changes to improve accountability and protect lives. An important step would be for DOH to provide the families who lost loved ones with answers as to the actual number of nursing homes residents who died. These families are still grieving, and they deserve no less.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Scandal first hit Cuomo in early 2021 when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/02\/15\/cuomo-defends-controversial-nursing-home-directive-blames-staffers-visitors-for-virus-spread\/\">it was revealed<\/a> that his administration directed nursing homes to accept recovering coronavirus patients, leading to a spike in elderly deaths. Trouble worsened for Cuomo as more and more reports revealed that his administration intentionally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/02\/12\/new-york-lawmakers-demand-justice-nursing-home-coverup-cuomo-must-prosecuted-immediately\/\">suppressed the death toll<\/a> to protect the governor from political fallout. At the height of the pandemic, Cuomo was a media sensation, with reporters hailing him as the perfect opposite of President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2020, Cuomo was even presented with the\u00a02020 International Emmy Founders Award for what the International Academy called \u201chis leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>That Emmy was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/business\/story\/2021-08-24\/now-that-gov-andrew-cuomo-has-resigned-what-happens-to-his-emmy\">later rescinded<\/a> when Cuomo resigned from office due to a string of sexual assault allegations.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gov.
