The Manhattan district attorney's office is closing its investigation into disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for his role in the state's nursing home deaths resulting from policies he implemented early on in the coronavirus pandemic, and the governor will not be charged.
The probe into the former governor was opened following a report last year from New York state Attorney General Letitia James' office showing that the state's Department of Health undercounted coronavirus nursing home deaths by as much as 50 percent.
"As the pandemic and our investigations continue, it is imperative that we understand why the residents of nursing homes in New York unnecessarily suffered at such an alarming rate," James said in a statement at the time.
A separate investigation concluded by the New York Assembly in November found that Cuomo's administration misrepresented data on nursing home coronavirus deaths.
New York state only counted the deaths of residents who died on the property of a nursing home and excluded those who died after being transferred to hospitals.
According to Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean, who has pushed for accountability for Cuomo for his role in the nursing home deaths, said that the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Eastern District of New York Department of Justice and the state's attorney general are all still investigating the nursing home scandal.
There are still ongoing investigations into the nursing home "Matters" by the FBI, DOJ Eastern District and AG. This sounds like a little favor from an outgoing Manhattan DA which we'll address with the new DA. Nice try, Rich.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
