Former NY Gov. Cuomo to Testify Before House GOP on Capitol Hill on COVID-19 Nursing Home Policies

Jun 11, 2024, 02:22 PM

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is set to appear before a congressional subcommittee on Tuesday to discuss his administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, particularly its handling of nursing homes. The questioning is expected to focus on Cuomo's directive that nursing homes accept residents recovering from COVID-19 after being discharged from hospitals. This mandate has been highly scrutinized, with questions surrounding the state's manipulation of data on nursing home deaths. Cuomo has defended his actions, stating that New York performed well under the circumstances and attributing the mandate to federal government guidelines. GOP Rep. Malliotakis has expressed that New Yorkers want to know what led up to these decisions. Cuomo's testimony will take place before a House GOP committee on Capitol Hill.
