This investigation is linked to concerns that Cuomo&#8217;s management may have misrepresented nursing home data, concealing the deaths of thousands of elderly residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. The inquiry follows a congressional report that accused Cuomo of being involved in a calculated cover-up and lying to Congress. The investigation has drawn attention following calls from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer for a probe into the matter. Cuomo&#8217;s spokesperson has countered these allegations, labeling the investigation as politically motivated and part of &#8220;lawfare&#8221; and election interference. Cuomo, who resigned in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cuomo-could-be-considering-another-gubernatorial-run\/\" title=\"Cuomo could be considering another gubernatorial run\">disgrace amid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/probe-finds-ore-state-dem-created-hostile-work-environment\/\" title=\"Probe finds Ore. state Dem created hostile work environment\">sexual harassment allegations<\/a><\/a>, had recently announced plans to run for mayor of New York City.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">&#8203;&#8203;DOJ launches criminal investigation into Andrew Cuomo over allegations he lied to Congress<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2120453\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Department of Justice <\/a>launched a criminal investigation into former New York Democratic Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/andrew-cuomo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Andrew Cuomo<\/a> over accusations he lied in a congressional hearing, according to multiple reports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The investigation surrounds concerns that Cuomo&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/365781\/new-york-failed-to-account-for-4100-covid-19-nursing-home-deaths-audit-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >administration presented nursing home data<\/a> <\/a>that concealed the deaths of several thousand senior citizens in New York during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/20\/us\/politics\/andrew-cuomo-investigation-doj.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><em>New York Times <\/em><\/a>and several other outlets.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3417255\/nola-prison-employee-charged-escape-10-inmates\/\">Jail employee in New Orleans charged in escape of 10 inmates<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3416762\/doj-false-claims-act-dei-antisemitism\/\">Justice Department to use False Claims Act to target DEI programs, campus antisemitism&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3416711\/doge-loses-fight-control-institute-of-peace\/\">DOGE loses fight to take control of US Institute of Peace<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The revelations<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3386950\/comer-doj-charge-cuomo-nursing-home-deaths-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> follow calls from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer<\/a> (R-KY) in April urging the DOJ to open an investigation into Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have never been informed of any such matter, so why would someone leak it now?
