9 September 2020: Cuomo Administration Responds to U.S. DOJ Request for Nursing Home Death Data

Nursing home mortality remains focus of FBI's Cuomo probe

This timeline entry is based on information that was reported on 6 June 2021, indicating the time, but not the content of the Cuomo administration's response to the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division's request for New York's public COVID nursing home death data:

The Cuomo administration has declined to release its correspondence with the Justice Department. It is, however, known that those exchanges included a Sept. 9 letter that was signed by a state Department of Health attorney in response to the federal agency's Aug. 26 demand letter.

That secrecy has also prompted tumultuous exchanges between Cuomo's office and the Legislature, which had requested similar records since last August.
