19 February 2021: Biden DOJ Now Wants COVID Nursing Home Deaths Data

Nursing-Home Death Data Was Sought From Cuomo by U.S. Prosecutors

This article independently confirms U.S. prosecutors are seeking to obtain data on the deaths of New York nursing home residents after the Cuomo administration failed for months to respond to earlier DOJ requests:

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn sought data this month on nursing-home deaths from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration, people familiar with the matter said, after state officials took months to respond to a separate inquiry by the Justice Department.

The prosecutors' request seeks the number of New York nursing-home deaths due to Covid-19 and when and where they occurred, as part of a broader inquiry into the state's handling of the pandemic in those care settings, the people said.
