Thursday evening, Rep. Stefanik, one of the signers of the letter, tweeted a statement following a bombshell NY post report alleging top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa, told leading state Democratic lawmakers that the administration had withheld data on COVID-19 deaths at nursing homes to avoid federal scrutiny.
Stefanik writes “Governor Cuomo, the secretary to the governor, and his senior team must be prosecuted immediately – both by the attorney general of New York state and the U.S. Department of Justice.”
She adds “this bombshell admission of a cover-up and the remarks by the secretary to the governor indicating intent to obstruct any federal investigation is a stunning and criminal abuse of power.”
