“It is time to be brave, to hold him accountable, to investigate his cover-up of nursing home information,” said Kim in an op-ed for Newsweek.
In his op-ed, Kim accused Cuomo of covering up thousands of nursing home COVID-19 deaths and bullying those that wouldn’t cover up his “crime.”
Kim cited a call between Cuomo’s top aide Mellissa DeRosa and state senate Democrats, in which DeRosa reportedly admitted the state hid nursing home data from the federal government, as evidence of such a crime.
He further claimed Cuomo tried to pressure him into releasing a statement saying “that Melissa DeRosa said there was a federal investigation and they had to deal with that first” during their call, according to the Post.
