ALBANY - Assemblyman Ron Kim says his wife was rattled for hours after he says he received a menacing phone call by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, fearing Cuomo would follow through on his purported threat to destroy Kim s career because of his criticism of the state s handling of nursing home deaths. We felt more than threatened to a point where my wife was shaking for over two hours, Kim, a Democratic Queens lawmaker, told the USA TODAY Network New York on Saturday. She was yelling at me, blaming me for putting our family in jeopardy. There was no mincing of words for 10 minutes.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo s star turn for his perceived frank and informative nationally broadcast COVID-19 briefings through the early months of the pandemic has taken a deep fall in recent weeks.
The state s admitted undercounting of nursing home deaths due to coronavirus and the ongoing scrutiny over a March 25 order to allow nursing home residents in hospitals to return home with COVID has put the Democratic governor in the most precarious position since he took office a decade ago.
Cuomo has had his share of scandals as governor.
He was accused of meddling in a corruption-busting commission that led to an investigation by then-U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who ultimately found no criminal wrongdoing. And his ex-top aide, Joseph Percoco, is in prison for kickbacks.
