17 February 2021: Cuomo Accused of Obstruction of Justice

Democrats accuse Cuomo of 'obstruction of justice' over nursing home scandal

This article reports several Democratic members of the New York Assembly have accused Governor Cuomo and members of his administration of federal obstruction of justice. Here's an excerpt:

Nine Democratic members of the New York State Assembly on Tuesday accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of federal obstruction of justice in a letter seeking support to strip him of his COVID-19 emergency powers.

The move followed last week's exclusive Post report that revealed Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa admitting to Democratic lawmakers that Cuomo's administration covered up data about the total number of nursing home residents killed by the coronavirus.

The letter, sent Tuesday to members of the Assembly, said, "It is now unambiguously clear that this governor has engaged in an intentional obstruction of justice, as outlined in Title 18, Chapter 73 of the United States Code."
