It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Remember this?
Well, news broke late Monday that the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer had referred former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice to face criminal charges for events resulting from his response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After having been turned down previously by the Biden administration in its request to bring charges against Cuomo, the committee will now try its chances with the Trump DOJ's Pam Bondi.
From the Washington Examiner:
Comer is seeking the charges due to a New York audit that concluded Cuomo's administration presented nursing home data that concealed the deaths of 4,100 senior citizens in the Empire State during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The chairman cited a congressional report released last year that found Cuomo lied to Congress regarding his role in the nursing home controversy, with Comer saying the former New York governor was involved in a 'calculated cover-up' and must be 'prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law' for lying to Congress.
Here is the letter from Rep. James Comer of the House Oversight Committee:
Cuomo, who in March announced that he was running for mayor of New York City, will now be forced to do so with the dark cloud of federal charges hanging over his head — along with allegations that he covered up the deaths of thousands of people.
