FBI investigating NY Gov. Cuomo administration’s handling of nursing homes amid pandemic

The FBI and the US attorney’s office in Brooklyn, NY have begun an investigation into how New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration handled the state’s nursing home crisis during the coronavirus pandemic. Neither Cuomo nor any administration official has at this point been accused of any wrongdoing.

According to a report Wednesday, the investigation is focused on top members of Cuomo’s coronavirus task force. Members of Cuomo’s task force include New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker and Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa. The latter drew scrutiny this month after she seemingly admitted the governor’s team withheld information related to COVID-19-related deaths at nursing homes.

Cuomo has faced bipartisan scrutiny over his handling of the nursing home crisis, focusing on Cuomo’s March 25 memo directing nursing homes to accept recovering COVID-19 patients at their facilities. The order was later rescinded.

Longtime conservative commentator and radio show host Rush Limbaugh has died at the age of 70, his wife announced Wednesday on his program. Limbaugh had been receiving treatment for lung cancer. A statement posted to his website stated, “In loving memory of Rush Hudson Limbaugh III, the greatest of all time.”

Several prominent Republican politicians praised Limbaugh upon news of his death Wednesday. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul tweeted, “RIP to a legend and a patriot. Not many people can say they revolutionized and stayed at the top of an industry the way he did.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said, “Rush is the [greatest of all time] of radio, of conservative media and of inspiring a loyal army of American patriots.”

Limbaugh began his radio career in 1971 at age 20 as a disc jockey at Pennsylvania station WIXZ. He launched an afternoon radio show in Kansas City four years later, followed by stops in Sacramento and New York City before his “The Rush Limbaugh Show” went into syndication.
