The FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn have launched an investigation that is examining, at least in part, the actions of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's coronavirus task force in its handling of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the pandemic, the Times Union has learned.
The probe by the U.S. attorney's office in the Eastern District of New York is apparently in its early stages and is focusing on the work of some of the senior members of the governor's task force, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter who is not authorized to comment publicly.
Last March, as the virus began spreading in New York, Cuomo issued a news release listing the 13 initial members of his coronavirus task force, which has been headed by Linda Lacewell, an attorney and former chief of staff for Cuomo. Lacewell is the superintendent of the state Department of Financial Services. Other task force members include state health Commissioner Howard Zucker, Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa and Beth Garvey, counsel to the governor.
"As we publicly said, DOJ (Department of Justice) has been looking into this for months," said Richard Azzopardi, a spokesman for the governor. "We have been cooperating with them and we will continue to."
Azzopardi did not disclose whether any members of the administration have been interviewed or if they have been served with any subpoenas.
John Marzulli, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn, on Wednesday afternoon said he could not "confirm or deny" whether the office has initiated an investigation

"Cuomo Faces Revolt as Legislators Move to Strip Him of Pandemic Powers
Democratic lawmakers have begun to challenge Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of virus-related nursing home deaths, and the governor also faces a federal inquiry"
Lovely. Well, this is what happens with corruption. Ron Kim got hit, there is no control in corruption. Is like cancer. Spreads.
Not so fast. Dr. Fauci told us NY was a model for handling the corona virus.

His Uncle Joe will get him out of this.
The FBI? Laughable.

Quarantine is when you restrict the movement of sick people. Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people. Stupidity is when you can’t tell the difference. There are 2 different kinds of people in the world, those who think the government are doing things in their best interests, and those who actually think.
That "DR." should have his Medical License Revoked.
Sheep, sheep, sheep!!!! Open your eyes and turn off the TV!!!! Lord have mercy on the souls of the fear mongering politicians! Vote them out and save our republic!

Yawn. Nothing will happen ultimately. Such is life in a banana republic.

Actually is not really laughable. Seems they are ready to eat their own now.
I guess he rubbed even is own the wrong way. Emmy Award, lecturing, grandstanding and now someone up there wants him gone.
Dirty business.

Joe Biden had a very cringeworthy night at his CNN downhill event, and the media coverage of him is even more cringeworthy. #Biden #Gaffe #Gaffes

Smoke and mirrors.
The Dems waited for the election and now will give him a wrist-slap.

You know I was paying attention when Nanzi talked about the 25th Amendment.
Now I realize it wasn't Trump it was Bidet all along.
The man is clearly not able to do much.

Didn't work out at the Nuremberg trials.
FBI or the fib is a joke, they were all in on the election fraud and the Scamdemic and will do anything the Democrat oligarchs want; if Cuomo gets prosecuted it will only be because Cuomo somehow angered or doublecrossed a BIG MONEY Democrat donor or group of Democrat donors but we will never know the full story.

You got it. Back in the days was called cutting the ties to the weakest link.
The link now is an ego driven dude with a bit of a God complex. So he is the perfect fall guy.
Not defending his arrogant ways, but really who benefited from all this? Follow the money folks.
Of course the pay raise for himself, but not to lawmakers, judges didn't help either.

Yes Cuomo is a thug but the Covid nursing home scandal story is a red herring, what is really going on is the Eliot Spitzer wing of the NY Democrat party wants Cuomo gone, the Spitzer crowd hates Cuomo and vice versa Spitzer and other mebers of the chosen tribe wants Pret Barrera as Gov.
but we will never know the full story.
Oh yes we do.

Fact checkers didn't exist until the truth started getting out.

True that. Except they used to call them CENSORS!
And the Emmy for best supporting villain goes to Cuomo....
Looks like they're going to have to impeach Trump again.

Well done Mr. President!

#TWS Trump Withdrawal Syndrome includes tears, anxiety and nausea and may take months to shake. In the end, the withdrawal process is worth it as the addict can hopefully regain his or her normal life. As yet, we don't have any statistics on the recidivism rate although we expect to know more come the 2024 presidential campaign.
Cuomo will sleaze his way out of this, just like Obumbler, Hillary and Reno.
