Cuomo lied and covered it up — we need a federal investigation to find the truth
By Post Editorial Board | February 12, 2021
The Post Editorial Board calls for a federal investigation into Andrew Cuomo's administration covering up nursing home deaths in NY.
New York needs the truth about the Cuomo administration coverup of nursing-home deaths — and that means an independent federal investigation.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's top aide confessed privately this week that the administration suppressed the true COVID toll in the homes. She also offered an apology — not to the thousands of New York families who needlessly lost loved ones thanks to her boss's mismanagement but to Democratic lawmakers put in a difficult "political position with the Republicans" by the coverup.
A federal investigation may be the only way to get the full truth of Team Cuomo's order to nursing homes, populated by those most vulnerable to the virus, to take in COVID-positive patients. Not just the "what" of how many lives it cost, but the "why" behind this madness, and the months and months of coverup.
Melissa DeRosa, secretary to the governor, made the stunning statement on a video call with Democratic state lawmakers as she "explained" why the administration ignored since August their demands for nursing-home death data. It began when then-President Donald Trump “directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us," she said. "And basically we froze."
"Because then we were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation," she said.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's top aide confessed that the administration publicly said nursing home deaths related to COVID-19 were lower than they actually were.

Another problem: The state started hiding the info months earlier, long before Trump tweeted a thing.
Later in the call, she said the Biden Justice Department isn't as interested in Team Cuomo's malfeasance. "All signs point to they are not looking at this, they've dropped it," she said.
Not when she's admitted a coverup, they can't. The feds must reopen a probe and subpoena Cuomo, DeRosa, and Health Commissioner Howard Zucker.
Perhaps a special counsel is needed. Cuomo has long and strong ties to Biden, who reportedly considered him for attorney general. Cuomo was even at the White House Friday, managing to avoid reporters as he met with the president and other governors to discuss stimulus legislation.
