DOJ opens investigation into Andrew Cuomo over NY nursing home deaths testimony: report

The Justice Department has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for allegedly lying to Congress about the nursing home deaths in the Empire State during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The probe into the New York City mayoral frontrunner was launched about a month ago by the Washington, DC, US Attorney’s Office, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the matter.

The office was led at the time by Ed Martin, who was replaced earlier this month by Jeanine Pirro.

The DOJ and Cuomo did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
