Ex-gov Cuomo called a liar after testifying on NY’s COVID-19 response
The head of the congressional panel investigating the pandemic slapped Gov. Kathy Hochul with a subpoena Tuesday while accusing her office of withholding crucial documents regarding COVID-19-related nursing home deaths.
“We shouldn’t need subpoenas for information that rightfully belongs to the public,” Wenstrup said in closing the panel’s grilling of Cuomo during the about two hour-long hearing on his administration’s response to the pandemic. “While today’s action is surprising, given the Subcommittee’s previous comments expressing appreciation for the State’s prompt and extensive cooperation, we fully intend to comply with the law in this matter,” the rep said in a statement.
But the chairman noted that Cuomo confidante Jim Malatras, told the panel, “that the former Governor was involved, and that his edits were communicated through Executive Chamber staff.”
