<p>A New York Democratic lawmaker, who, last week, claimed New York Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-u-s-attorney-investigating-cuomo-administration-over-nursing-home-deaths">Andrew Cuomo threatened his career</a> if he did not help to &#8220;cover up&#8221; a scandal over Cuomo&#8217;s decision to send potentially COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes and adult care facilities, now says that he and his colleagues are &#8220;inching&#8221; toward a bipartisan impeachment probe against the governor.</p>
<p>Progressive Democratic New York Assemblyman Ron Kim <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_6ZOuxdvmM9-x4X7BzMPbXFhMLNjI2-qTcgBlURdHA/edit#gid=0">claimed to CNN last Wednesday</a> that Cuomo threatened his career if he did not help “cover up” allegations that Cuomo’s staff deliberately “concealed the full extent of nursing home-related deaths during the Covid pandemic,&#8221; The Daily Wire reported last week.</p>
<p>Now, Kim told Yahoo News, that &#8220;support is building within the state legislature to begin an impeachment investigation.&#8221;</p>
<p>“It will take a little time to build that consensus, but every day we are inching toward the impeachment process,” he told <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/ny-assemblyman-lawmakers-are-inching-toward-cuomo-impeachment-probe-224110717.html">Yahoo News&#8217; podcast</a>. &#8220;He estimated that, along with &#8216;virtually all&#8217; Republicans, between 25 and 30 Democratic legislators currently support an impeachment inquiry into Cuomo — a number he suggested is growing steadily.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wednesday night, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-u-s-attorney-investigating-cuomo-administration-over-nursing-home-deaths">Albany Times-Union reported</a> that the FBI, in partnership with the United States Attorney&#8217;s office in Brooklyn, has opened an investigation into the Cuomo administration, reportedly tied to Cuomo&#8217;s order, made early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring nursing homes and other adult care facilities accept recovering coronavirus patients, even if they might still be contagious.</p>
<p>The policy, which was rescinded just two months later, may have been responsible for thousands of COVID-19 deaths, particularly among vulnerable populations, including the elderly and the black community. Although the mainstream media largely ignored claims that Cuomo&#8217;s nursing home policy may have contributed to New York&#8217;s status as the epicenter of the American COVID-19 pandemic as they were being made over the summer, in early February, a senior Cuomo aide reportedly told Democrats that the state had deliberately downplayed the number of nursing home deaths so as to elude a federal investigation.</p>
<p>Cuomo has since fallen under sharp criticism from both parties and, last week, New York Democrats hit back at Cuomo, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-ny-democratic-leaders-move-to-strip-gov-cuomo-of-emergency-powers-amid-federal-investigation">moving to strip the governor of his emergency pandemic powers</a> pending the outcome of the reported Federal investigation.</p>
<p>&#8220;Stripping Cuomo of his emergency powers granted during the COVID-19 outbreak would be a stunning rebuke of the governor’s handling of the pandemic by his party allies in the state legislature, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/17/nyregion/cuomo-nursing-homes-deaths.html">The New York Times</a>,&#8221; the Daily Wire reported last week. &#8220;A vote on the motion to strip the governor of emergency authority could come as soon&#8221; as this week.</p>
<p>Kim, for his part, seemed to acknowledge to Yahoo that the federal probe centers around Cuomo&#8217;s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and that Cuomo is being investigated for &#8220;obstruction of justice.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kim said that &#8220;he has been told the investigation is focused in part on &#8216;obstruction of justice&#8217; and that as part of that he is fully prepared to recount his phone call to federal authorities,&#8221; Yahoo News reported.</p>
<p>“Of course, I’m prepared to comply and spend as much time handing over as much evidence as they want,” he said. “I expect many of us to be contacted very soon.”</p>
<p>Neither the FBI nor the US Attorney has commented on the case.</p>
