Whitmer could face criminal charges over COVID deaths, prosecutor says
Fox News
A county prosecutor in Michigan told a local news station Monday that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer could face charges for her early decision to put coronavirus patients into nursing homes.
Lucido, a former Republican state senator, appealed to those in the state who may have lost loved ones to the virus who were in nursing homes to seek out information about the deaths. He said HIPPAA laws prevent his office from obtaining some patient information. Whitmer’s office did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News. Her office issued a statement to WXYZ and called Lucido’s comments "shameful political attacks based in neither fact or reality." Her office said that one of Lucido’s former Republican colleagues admitted that they "have not seen any evidence or testimony that says that a nursing home was forced to take someone against their will."More Related News
