New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide has come forward with a confession that Cuomo deliberately withheld nursing home death numbers from federal investigators.
Blaming former President Trump for turning the situation into a “giant political football,” secretary to the governor Melissa DeRosa said the governor and staff were afraid the information would be used against them.
The New York Post reported that Trump’s order to the Justice Department to do an investigation was what DeRosa said ultimately caused them to freeze in fear of not knowing what to do.
