A Republican-led House panel investigating the COVID-19 pandemic plans to refer former New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution for allegedly making criminally false statements to Congress. The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic alleges that Cuomo lied to Congress in September about his involvement in a report on nursing home deaths during the pandemic, claiming he had not reviewed the report despite evidence suggesting he wrote parts of it himself. The panel intends to send a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland referring the potential criminal case.
