It would appear that we’re adding yet another scandal to the lengthy list of allegations involving New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. But this time, instead of additional sexual harassment claims or fibbing about the number of nursing home deaths, we’re seeing a blast from the past. This story deals with an accusation against Cuomo that dates back to early 2019 which had supposedly been investigated and dismissed. In January of that year, the state Inspector General’s office was asked to investigate whether or not confidential administrative information had been illegally leaked to Cuomo.

En våg av vapenvåld fortsätter att plåga USA.
Under helgen runt nationaldagen den 4 juli dödades minst 150 personer i skottlossningar – och antalet personer som skjuts ihjäl ökar kraftigt.
Nationaldagshelgen är en av USA:s största folkfester – inte minst i år, när en rad delstater hade släppt på restriktionerna och många människor var ivriga att komma ut efter pandemins hemmasittande. Men på en del håll blandades festandet och fyrverkerierna med ljudet av skottlossning.
