Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said Joe Biden\u2019s pick for attorney general gave a poor response about a probe into Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.).<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the New York congresswoman said Judge Merrick Garland provided a vague and non-specific response when asked about the corruption and public health scandal surrounding Cuomo. Stefanik highlighted reports, saying a federal probe into Cuomo is being handled by a family member of his top aide in an apparent conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<p>However, Garland recently told lawmakers that he did not know any of the facts and attempted to downplay the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill you commit to investigating the extent the government of New York broke laws or covered up their policies concerning COVID-positive patients in nursing homes?\u201d Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) asked Garland.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2377861\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2377861\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2377861\" src=\"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21053777625168-655x437.jpg\" alt=\"Sen.

She suggested as Cuomo\u2019s corruption has become national news, it must be handled at the highest level of the DOJ.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tiger-woods-in-hospital-after-serious-car-crash\/\">Tiger Woods In Hospital After Serious Car Crash<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274080,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1183804818-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Rep.
