Nessel won't investigate nursing homes, missing child endangered by mom, hate speech posted on school site Published TUESDAY NEWS HIT - Michigan's Attorney General has said she will not investigate COVID-19 data as it pertains to nursing home deaths, following a request from Republican lawmakers and public officials to do so. State Sen. Jim Runestad had requested Michigan's top cop take a look at nursing home data after the governor declined to release information. The GOP has pointed to missteps by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration as justification for looking into actions taken by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "But the situation here is completely different," Nessel, replied in a letter sent to Runestad Monday. "I am aware that Gov. Whitmer's office complied with the (Department of Justice) information request and have no reason to doubt the accuracy of that response -- much less suspect intentional misrepresentations within that response."
