NewsChannel 13 has confirmed the FBI and US Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn have opened an investigation into the governor’s COVID-19 Task Force and its handling of nursing homes during the pandemic, as first reported by the Times Union.
Sen. Jim Tedisco is responding to the news. He released the following statement:
“This was never about politics as some things, like the deaths of 15,000 nursing home residents, rise above politics. Given this federal investigation into the Cuomo Administration, the legislature should revoke the Governor’s emergency powers as there’s bi-partisan agreement among Democrats and Republicans who believe we should restore the legislature’s role as an equal branch of government. This must be the top legislative priority when we reconvene on Monday afternoon as Cuomo can no longer be trusted with his ‘Emperor-like’ powers.”
“If the facts demonstrate a cover-up and obstruction of justice, and
they certainly seem to with the drip, drip, drip of new information
revealed on a daily basis, then Governor Cuomo must resign or face
impeachment and removal from office.”
