ALBANY - The Justice Department said late Friday it will not open a civil rights investigation into New York s handling of COVID-19 deaths at state-run nursing homes.
The decision ends nearly a year of inquiry by the department started under then-President Donald Trump into how COVID deaths and infections swept through the vulnerable populations in nursing homes.
In a letter to some Republican members of Congress, the Justice Department said it has decided against opening a civil rights investigation into public nursing homes in New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan, but it still has a probe in two nursing homes in New Jersey.
