Scalise blasts 'unconscionable' DOJ move to drop Cuomo nursing home investigation
Fox News
Rep. Steve Scalise blasted President Joe Biden’s Justice Department Friday after the DOJ announced it was dropping a Civil Rights probe into New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the coronavirus in nursing homes.
"Where is the justice for nursing home victims and their grieving families? These deadly orders contradicted the CDC’s guidance, and needlessly endangered the most vulnerable among us to the deadly COVID-19 virus," the Louisiana Republican added. "Even worse, Governor Cuomo in New York intentionally tried to cover up the true death toll resulting from his mandate. Grieving families deserve answers and accountability. It’s unconscionable that Biden’s Department of Justice refuses to investigate the deadly actions that went against CDC’s medical guidance taken in these states." The DOJ told Republican lawmakers Friday that it will not pursue an investigation into the Cuomo nursing home scandal but a separate investigation by federal prosecutors into the matter will continue.More Related News
