Congressional Subpoena Issued to Andrew Cuomo Over COVID Nursing Home Policies

The House subcommittee investigating the COVID-era handling of nursing homes has subpoenaed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to question him about his administration's directive to admit recovering COVID-positive patients into nursing homes. Cuomo, who has faced intense scrutiny over this issue, has defended the directive, stating it was based on federal guidelines. The committee alleges that Cuomo's unwillingness to cooperate has delayed their investigation, while Cuomo's spokesperson called the subpoena a "press charade" and accused Congress of playing politics with COVID. Cuomo's attorney has urged the subcommittee to reconsider issuing the subpoena, stating that Cuomo has been cooperative.
