Former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a> Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/andrew-cuomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Cuomo</a>, a Democrat who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-andrew-cuomo-to-resign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned from office</a> in 2021 amid a sexual misconduct controversy, has been subpoenaed to testify about his handling of nursing homes during the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID</a> pandemic, a GOP-led congressional panel revealed on Tuesday.
The House is compelling Cuomo to appear for a May 24 deposition focused on a mandate Cuomo issued in March of 2020 forcing New York nursing homes and long-term care facilities to admit or re-admit potentially contagious and untested COVID-19 patients, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/wenstrup-announces-subpoena-for-former-new-york-governor-andrew-cuomo/#:~:text=WASHINGTON%20%E2%80%94%20Today%2C%20Select%20Subcommittee%20on,deposition%20on%20May%2024%2C%202024." target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement.
&#8220;This order recklessly exposed New York’s most vulnerable population to COVID-19 with deadly consequences,&#8221; the statement said, adding that reporting indicated that more than 15,000 individuals died in New York nursing homes and long-term care facilities during Cuomo&#8217;s administration. &#8220;Evidence also suggests that former Governor Cuomo engaged in a coverup to hide the true New York nursing home mortality rate from the public and shift political blame away from his administration,&#8221; the statement continued.
Cuomo &#8220;implemented nursing home policies that had deadly consequences for New York’s most vulnerable population. Not only did the former Governor put the elderly in harm’s way, but he also attempted to cover-up his failures by hiding the true nursing home death rate. It appears that politics, not medicine, was responsible for these decisions. And that while Mr. Cuomo is adept at seeking legal advice, he is not necessarily adept at seeking medical advice,&#8221; said Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH).
The chairman added that Cuomo &#8220;owes answers to the 15,000 families who lost loved ones in New York nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. His testimony is crucial to uncover the circumstances that led to his misguided policies and for ensuring that fatal mistakes never happen again. It is well past time for Cuomo to stop dodging accountability to Congress and start answering honestly to the American people.&#8221;
Cuomo&#8217;s spokesperson Rich Azzopardi <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/andrew-cuomo-subpoenaed-congressional-subcommittee-investigating-covid-era/story?id=107805055" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told ABC News</a> the subpoena, which was <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2024.03.05-Subpoena-to-Cuomo.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), was &#8220;an obvious press charade&#8221; and insisted that multiple investigations have &#8220;found no there there.&#8221;
In early 2021, after New York Attorney General Letitia James reported that nursing home resident deaths were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nursing-home-deaths-in-new-york-were-massively-undercounted-new-york-ag-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“undercounted” by roughly 50%</a>, Cuomo insisted that all deaths in nursing homes and hospitals were &#8220;fully&#8221; reported, but conceded <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/02/15/968199651/new-york-governor-defends-temporarily-withholding-nursing-home-coronavirus-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a &#8220;delay&#8221;</a> while his office was busy responding to a multi-state <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-requesting-data-governors-states-issued-covid-19-orders-may-have-resulted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inquiry</a> by the Department of Justice. &#8220;Everyone did the best they could,&#8221; Cuomo also <a href="https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/ny-state-of-politics/2021/01/29/cuomo-on-nursing-home-deaths---everyone-did-the-best-they-could--" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Cuomo&#8217;s lawyer Rita Glavin wrote to Wenstrup, according to a <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018e-1005-d469-afbe-d88f0b6a0000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> published by POLITICO that was dated March 4, urging the chairman to reconsider issuing a subpoena. She said they had provided the subcommittee in a February 21 email four August dates for a transcribed interview, given obligations in other legal matters that have packed their calendars over the next several months.
&#8220;Your staff represented that they would revert back to me the following week, but we never heard back—until today. Specifically, earlier today, staff members asked me to accept electronic service of a subpoena to compel Governor Cuomo’s attendance for testimony. Given Governor Cuomo’s stated willingness to appear voluntarily for a transcribed interview, we ask that you reconsider issuing a subpoena,&#8221; Glavin wrote.
&#8220;To be clear, Governor Cuomo has been and remains cooperative,&#8221; she added. &#8220;In communications with your staff, we offered to provide written answers to &#8216;Questions For the Record&#8217; to the extent the Select Subcommittee needs information from Governor Cuomo prior to his interview. That offer still stands. If the four dates we proposed in August for his interview do not work for the Select Subcommittee, we are willing to discuss alternative dates. I simply ask that we work together to accommodate his legal obligations and my other professional obligations.&#8221;
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic said on Tuesday that it &#8220;worked in good faith to schedule a voluntary transcribed interview with former Governor Cuomo to discuss his COVID-19 nursing home policies.&#8221;
&#8220;Cuomo has repeatedly and unjustifiably delayed the Select Subcommittee’s investigation by not responding to requests for weeks, ignoring Select Subcommittee staff’s attempts to negotiate interview dates and times, and providing unreasonable availability — nine months after the interview was originally requested. Today’s subpoena has sadly become necessary to uncover the truth about New York’s pandemic-era nursing home policies and deliver the answers Americans demand and New Yorkers deserve,&#8221; the panel added.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and state of New York have entered into an agreement for reforms after an investigation revealed a nearly decade-long hostile work environment overseen by former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo <a href="https://apnews.com/article/andrew-cuomo-resigns-17161f546bb83c32a337036ecf8d2a34" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned</a> as governor of New York in August 2021 after a number of sexual harassment allegations were made against him. At the time, Democrats in the state legislature were building momentum to impeach the three-term governor, and President Joe Biden had joined calls for Cuomo to step down.
The DOJ investigated the allegations against Cuomo and <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-secures-settlement-agreement-state-new-york-executive-chamber-resolve" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> its findings on Friday along with the outline of an agreement the Biden administration struck with the state of New York. Governor Kathy Hochul, who took over the state after Cuomo’s abrupt departure, agreed to implement a slate of reforms in the wake of the scandal, such as expanding a newly constituted HR department for the governor’s office and overhauling the process for filing complaints against senior officials.
The DOJ investigation found that Cuomo “subjected at least thirteen female employees of New York State … to a sexually hostile work environment” consisting of “unwelcome, non-consensual sexual contact; ogling; unwelcome sexual comments; gender-based nicknames; comments on their physical appearances; and/or preferential treatment based on their physical appearances,” according to the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/crt/media/1335301/dl?inline=&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreement</a> published by the DOJ on Friday.
Federal investigators found that members of the governor’s office routinely protected the governor from complaints of sexual harassment, despite having knowledge of the events. In some cases, the victims were retaliated against, according to federal investigators.
“Indeed, the Executive Chamber’s response was designed only to protect Cuomo from further accusations, rather than to protect employees from sexual harassment,” the agreement says.
The DOJ uncovered “a pattern or practice of discrimination against female employees based on sex, in violation of Title VII, by subjecting them to and tolerating a sexually hostile work environment created by Cuomo between about 2013 and 2021,” according to the agreement.
Investigators also found a “pattern or practice of retaliation, in violation of Title VII, against some of those current and former employees after they complained that Cuomo harassed them.”

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the DOJ Civil Rights Division said in a statement: “The conduct in the Executive Chamber under the former governor, the state’s most powerful elected official, was especially egregious because of the stark power differential involved and the victims’ lack of avenues to report and redress harassment. With this settlement agreement, the Executive Chamber under Governor Hochul is undertaking additional actions that will address system failures of the past while helping prevent the recurrence of systemic sexual harassment and retaliation in the future.”

Democratic New York City Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/eric-adams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Adams</a> has called for action with regard to the near-constant influx of illegal immigrants — the reversal of several 1980s court rulings that force the city to provide shelter to anyone who asks for it.
The mayor&#8217;s administration, according to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/01/02/metro/adams-renews-his-call-for-a-carve-out-to-right-to-shelter-during-migrant-crisis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published Tuesday by the New York Post, plans to argue that the rulings were never meant to accommodate the wave after wave of illegal immigrants, many of whom have been sent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigrants-take-trains-into-nyc-after-eric-adams-restricts-bus-arrivals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by bus or by train</a> from border states where resources have already been exhausted.
&#8220;The governor of Texas continues to state, ‘Well, you guys are a sanctuary city.’ That has nothing to do with this,&#8221; Adams objected during a Tuesday press conference. &#8220;These people are paroled into the country that has nothing to do with it. While they are here, we are obligated [to provide housing] and that’s why we’re in court saying that the right to shelter should not have an impact on this migrant crisis.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a real problem,&#8221; Adams continued, and has argued on a number of occasions that the rulings were not put in place to handle the more than 160,000 illegal immigrants who have arrived in New York City since 2022. The case is currently being argued in private mediation, and there has been no court date set.

The mayor&#8217;s continued struggles — which also include an investigation into his office and possible ties to Turkey&#8217;s government — have left the door open for speculation about who might run for the city&#8217;s top spot if he were sidelined.
Page Six <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/12/23/gossip/andrew-cuomo-leaning-towards-mayoral-run-if-adams-craps-out/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> just before Christmas that disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) — who resigned in 2021 amid multiple accusations of sexual harassment — could potentially be &#8220;leaning toward&#8221; a run for mayor if Adams were to find himself out of a job.

New York City

Disgraced CNN host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-cuomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Cuomo</a> admitted he wanted &#8220;to kill everybody&#8221; including himself after he was fired following revelations he helped his brother then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo navigate several sexual harassment allegations.
During the former anchor&#8217;s appearance on Wednesday on Anthony Scaramucci&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/Scaramucci/status/1625843535017549826?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> &#8220;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-chris-cuomo-of-it-all-firing-family-and-future/id1663394459?i=1000599726235" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Open Book</a>,&#8221; Cuomo admitted he&#8217;s flawed and sought therapy after he was &#8220;s*** canned&#8221; by the network.
&#8220;I had to accept [my firing] because I was going to kill everybody, including myself,&#8221; the 52-year-old former CNN broadcaster shared, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/15/i-was-going-to-kill-everybody-and-myself-chris-cuomo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> noted.

&#8220;Things can consume you,&#8221; Cuomo continued. &#8220;Italians are so passionate. And I really had to fight against that because &#8230; I got too many people counting on me.&#8221;
The former host said he&#8217;s made &#8220;a lot of mistakes&#8221; and revealed he&#8217;s gotten therapy to deal with the fallout from no longer being the number 1 guy on CNN.
&#8220;There is damage that is relatable, there is damage that is unrelatable to people that I have to deal with, that I am working on,&#8221; Cuomo <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chris-cuomo-going-to-kill-everybody-and-myself-firing-2023-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a>.
&#8220;At CNN, I wasn&#8217;t set up to be [No. 1],&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t the big name there, I didn&#8217;t have the big team, they didn&#8217;t do the advertising about me. But I was still No. 1.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ll never be that again,&#8221; he added. &#8220;That was taken from me, I believe wrongly. I&#8217;ll litigate that. I&#8217;m not going to b**** about that it in the press.&#8221;
In December 2021, Cuomo was fired from the network. In March, 2022 the former CNN host filed a $125 million lawsuit against the network after his job was terminated. He demanded $15 million in lost salary and $110 million in further damages, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-cuomo-demands-125-million-from-cnn-cuomos-journalistic-integrity-unjustifiably-smeared" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. The case is ongoing, the New York Post noted.
In July 2022, Cuomo announced that he&#8217;d been hired on by NewsNation and promised he would &#8220;try very hard to be  fair,&#8221; as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disgraced-host-chris-cuomo-announces-his-new-news-job-im-going-to-try-very-hard-to-be-fair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to do the job,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to go where the news is, and I&#8217;m going to try very hard to be fair. And I want to do it here. I want to make a difference. And I&#8217;m really hoping that it makes a difference for you [the viewer]. And I thank NewsNation very much for the opportunity.&#8221;

Former Governor <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/andrew-cuomo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Cuomo</a> (D-NY) let President Joe Biden have it over the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, saying on Wednesday that he had been wrong to dramatically change border policy without having a good plan in place to mitigate the potential fallout of those changes.
Cuomo made the comments during the most recent episode of his <a href="https://quakemedia.com/show/as-a-matter-of-fact-with-andrew-cuomo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> — &#8220;As a Matter of Fact &#8230;&#8221; — and he even went so far as to say that &#8220;the southern states were right&#8221; when they warned Biden not to dismantle the policies left in place by former President Donald Trump and the last administration.
&#8220;It was a mistake for President Biden to open the border without having a plan to handle the tremendous flow of people,&#8221; Cuomo explained, adding, &#8220;President Biden had said he would do it in the campaign — but you can’t change a policy unless you have the program in place to manage the change.&#8221;
Cuomo&#8217;s criticism was not necessarily an attack on the Biden administration&#8217;s goals with regard to immigration reform — but rather, he argued that Biden&#8217;s team had made it clear that they either did not anticipate or failed to mitigate the &#8220;consequences of enacting those promises&#8221; that he had made during the campaign.
The disgraced former governor had equal criticism for the border states who had responded to the crisis by busing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, but he did acknowledge that Biden&#8217;s border policies had created an unnecessary hardship for them.
&#8220;The southern states were right that opening the border created a tremendous hardship for them to handle. They were right that the federal government was not prepared,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;This is a federal problem. Immigration is a federal responsibility. &#8230; The border is not just the gateway for people, but for drugs. This is on top of a homeless problem that had already strained resources in urban areas.&#8221;
Cuomo went on to say that his successor, Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) should have stepped in to assist when immigrants were bused into New York City — rather than leaving Mayor Eric Adams to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/this-is-a-free-for-all-nyc-hotel-worker-describes-chaos-as-migrants-have-trashed-rooms-brought-in-drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handle the situation</a> on his own — and appeared to throw support behind Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; plan to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/vp-harris-funnels-money-into-central-american-job-creation-in-effort-to-slow-illegal-immigration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">funnel investments</a> into Central American businesses in an effort to stem the flow of illegal immigration at one of its sources.

Celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Salma Hayek, Reese Witherspoon, and more were quick to voice their support for the #MeToo Hollywood non-profit organization <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weinstein-accuser-blasts-hollywood-me-too-group-for-focusing-on-left-wing-political-interests-instead-of-victims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Time&#8217;s Up</a> five years ago, but have been absolutely silent now that it&#8217;s collapsed.
Time&#8217;s Up was originally created to fight sexual harassment in the entertainment industry following numerous allegations against Harvey Weinstein. However, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/times-up-metoo-1ac800e48a96357d7fb29c18848c50d2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news recently surfaced that the time is up for Time&#8217;s Up</a>, after it announced it was halting operations and the group&#8217;s remaining $1.7 million in funds were being reallocated to a legal defense fund.
The collapse for the group started two years ago when the head of Time&#8217;s Up Tina Tchen and attorney Roberta Kaplan were found to have helped then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo handle sexual harassment allegations brought by accuser Lindsey Boylan and 10 others, The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/21/us/times-up-metoo-sexual-harassment.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> reported. The group was also found to remain silent when it came to helping Joe Biden&#8217;s former aide, Tara Reade, in her sexual assault accusations against Biden, the outlet noted. In 2021, the two resigned amid revelations the group was found to be partisan.
But five years ago, things looked very different for the group started by founders Witherspoon and Winfrey, who helped the charity gain huge media attention, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/21/us/times-up-metoo-sexual-harassment.html">Times</a> noted. Stars like Michelle Williams, Meryl Streep, and Emma Watson proudly showed off their &#8220;Time’s Up&#8221; pins at the <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2018/01/07/golden-globes-why-stars-wearing-times-up-pins/1007799001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018 Golden Globes</a> on their black gowns in support of the group, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/times-up-metoo-1ac800e48a96357d7fb29c18848c50d2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a> noted.
On stage at the Globes, Winfrey warned abusers that &#8220;Their time is up!&#8221; and was greeted by a standing ovation. A year later, celebrities donned black and white &#8220;Time&#8217;s Up&#8221; <a href="https://www.glamour.com/gallery/golden-globes-2019-times-up-ribbons-red-carpet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ribbons</a> at the 2019 Golden Globes.
However, in 2020 Winfrey walked away from her Apple TV+ documentary that would have highlighted the &#8220;Time&#8217;s Up&#8221; group citing creative differences, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oprah-winfrey-quits-apple-times-up-documentary-2020-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Business Insider</a> noted. 
In August 2021, co-founder Shonda Rhimes, released a statement showing her support for the group&#8217;s agenda amid allegations about Tchen and Kaplan, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/21/us/times-up-metoo-sexual-harassment.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NYT</a> noted.
&#8220;The fact that Time&#8217;s Up has become viewed as a receptacle for and the focus of men trying to cover up their obscene behaviors is exhausting to me,&#8221; producer Rhimes shared at the time. &#8220;Saving men, especially predatory men, is not on Time&#8217;s Up agenda.&#8221;
Not long after Tchen and Kaplan&#8217;s resignation, board members Rhimes and Eva Longoria left Time&#8217;s Up, <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/what-does-the-end-of-times-up-mean-for-the-future-of-the-metoo-movement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue</a> noted. 
&#8220;Time’s Up is ready for new leadership, and we want to move forcefully toward its new iteration,&#8221; a statement from the exiting board members read, <a href="https://deadline.com/2021/09/shonda-rhimes-eva-longoria-jurnee-smollett-exit-times-up-board-1234827540/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deadline</a> noted.
In September 2021, <a href="https://variety.com/2021/film/news/eva-longoria-times-up-1235058259/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Longoria defended the group,</a> but shared that there was more work that needed to be done.
&#8220;It&#8217;s okay to make mistakes in the efforts to topple the patriarchy. Mistakes will be made,&#8221; the actress shared. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t mean the efforts should stop. We have to continue. We&#8217;ve been under thousands of years of a patriarchal society. It&#8217;s not going to topple in the three years that Time&#8217;s Up has existed. We have so much more work to be done.&#8221;
At that same time, the organization&#8217;s advisory <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-times-up-dissolves-advisory-board-that-had-a-listers-like-natalie-portman-jessica-chastain--others-411984" target="_blank" rel="noopener">board</a> quietly dissolved which included a star-studded list of Hollywood&#8217;s leading ladies; Natalie Portman, Jessica Chastain, Laura Dern, Julianne Moore, Janelle Monae, Brie Larson, Tessa Thompson, Padma Lakshmi, America Ferrera, Kerry Washington, Alyssa Milano, and Amy Schumer. 
And all these actresses mentioned connected to the group in some form or another have been absolutely silent since news broke in January about Time&#8217;s Up shutting down operations.
Time&#8217;s Up board member Ashley Judd has remained silent as well about the organization&#8217;s implosion, only sharing in November 2021 that despite the revelations about Tchen and Kaplan, the world needed &#8220;Time&#8217;s Up,&#8221; <a href="https://variety.com/2021/film/columns/times-up-ashley-judd-women-in-hollywood-1235118691/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> noted.
&#8220;We still need Time&#8217;s Up, and that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re going down to the studs, taking a look at the mistakes we made, learning from our errors and being completely transparent and accountable in the same way that we demand other organizations be transparent and accountable,&#8221; Judd said. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to get it right.&#8221;
Judd also promised that Time&#8217;s Up would rise again in 2022.
In January, Judd — one of the last remaining board members — stepped down as Time&#8217;s Up Now and the Time&#8217;s Up Foundation, the two groups that formed what is commonly known as Time&#8217;s Up, shut down, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/times-up-metoo-1ac800e48a96357d7fb29c18848c50d2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AP</a> noted.
During a recent episode of &#8220;The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1Z2G-vPrSQ&amp;source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a>, the host asked where are all the stars who spoke out for Time&#8217;s Up now that it&#8217;s collapsed? Because, she said, it went &#8220;partisan&#8221; in the people it supported.

Otherwise they can pound sand.&#8221;

Former New York Governor <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/andrew-cuomo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Cuomo</a> (D) lashed out at some he had considered his &#8220;political friends&#8221; before scandal brought an early end to his time in office.
<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/cnn-perpetrated-the-worst-kind-of-journalistic-lapse-in-bashing-trump-promoting-andrew-cuomo-experts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cuomo</a> sat for an <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/09/20/andrew-cuomo-on-the-political-friends-who-abandoned-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with the New York Post, and he said that even those he expected to have his back seemed to wash their hands of him as soon as the going got tough.
&#8220;Nobody. It was tough. Traumatizing,&#8221; Cuomo said, upon being asked who had stood by him in his time of trouble. &#8220;Biden, a friend 20 years, not knowing details, <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/08/03/biden-says-cuomo-should-resign-hours-after-harassment-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">immediately said about me</a>, &#8216;He’s got to go.&#8217; Biden had troubles years before and I stood by him. Gave him the benefit of the doubt. It was heartbreaking to see him trash me without reading one page, making one phone call.&#8221;
The former governor said more or less the same of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senator Kirsten Gillbrand (D-NY), and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and even former President Barack Obama.
&#8220;<a href="https://nypost.com/2021/03/17/pelosi-says-gov-cuomo-should-resign-if-probe-finds-him-guilty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pelosi? Please</a>. I know her 30 years. Her daughter worked for me,&#8221; Cuomo explained. &#8220;Obama? He’s been tough. When troubles come you like to think you’re different. You’re not. Enemies and haters accumulate. Schumer, Gillibrand, pals working in the state, friends I respected, <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/03/14/schumer-cuomo-should-resign-amid-awful-crisis-in-new-york/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fell like dominos</a>.&#8221;
Cuomo went on to suggest that they had deserted him because they believed he had lost his &#8220;power&#8221; and could no longer be a political advantage to them.
&#8220;Lose your power and heartless politicians read the tea leaves. You’re dead. Over. Pols grab another piece of meat. The phrase &#8216;political friends&#8217; is an oxymoron,&#8221; he said.
He did admit that his own gruff exterior could have played a role in their willingness to abandon him, saying, &#8220;OK, I’m not warm and fuzzy. What politician is? Maybe my duality started when my father was no longer governor. I saw him hurt. His vulnerabilities exposed. They broke his heart. The press next crucified me, his campaign manager kid. So I learned then not to expose a weakness or show your inner self. You know why? It gets used against you. A reaction becomes &#8216;Now we know where to hurt you.’”
Still, the former governor — who resigned amid <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-andrew-cuomo-to-resign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple accusations</a> of sexual misconduct and assault in addition to questions about his handling of nursing home policy during the COVID pandemic — made it clear that he was not ready to say that his political career was over.
&#8220;Look, my interest is public service. There are no term limits so I can make another go in four years. I’m someone who delivers. And who knows, could be there’s nobody to beat me. Also who knows — maybe by then I’ll be sweeter,&#8221; he concluded.

Former New York Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/andrew-cuomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Cuomo</a> won a lawsuit Tuesday after a state Supreme Court ruled against a now-disbanded ethics agency that attempted to force the ex-governor to repay $5.1 million in profits he received from a book deal detailing his administration&#8217;s early response to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/covid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID</a> pandemic.
The Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) accused Cuomo last year of misusing state resources and staff to write &#8220;American Crisis: Leadership Lessons From The COVID-19 Pandemic,&#8221; which Cuomo&#8217;s legal team denied, and the governor himself did not dispute that his staff helped with its publication, but only voluntarily.
Politico <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/16/cuomo-wins-lawsuit-over-his-book-deal-00052240" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> that Albany County Supreme Court Justice Denise Hartman issued a 17-page decision that sided with Cuomo, determining that the ethics commission overstepped its authority and violated due process by not following the order to bring an action against the former governor.
&#8220;JCOPE was seeking to impose sanctions for Cuomo&#8217;s alleged non-compliance with JCOPE&#8217;s outside activities rules,&#8221; Hartman wrote. However, state law says it can &#8220;impose sanctions only for violation of the statute, not for violations of JCOPE&#8217;s rules.&#8221;
Times Union <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.timesunion.com/state/article/Judge-rules-against-state-ethics-panel-in-Cuomo-s-17377578.php?utm_source=t.co&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;cmpid=twittersocialflow&amp;utm_campaign=socialflow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> the judge said, &#8220;JCOPE issued the approval for the outside activity, then unilaterally determined wrongdoing, then withdrew the approval, and finally imposed the disgorgement penalty.&#8221;
Governor Cuomo&#8217;s attorney Rita Glavin said in a statement that the rule of law prevailed and exposed the ethics commission&#8217;s &#8220;utter lawlessness&#8221; against the former New York leader.
&#8220;JCOPE&#8217;s conduct was shameful, unlawful, and a waste of taxpayer&#8217;s funds,&#8221; Glavin said.
Cuomo and the state legislature created the ethics commission a decade ago until it disassembled last March after facing criticism that the 14-member panel controlled decision-making.
Cuomo resigned last year amid allegations of sexual harassment scandals and <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/albany/story/2021/01/28/new-york-undercounted-nursing-home-deaths-by-as-much-50-percent-report-finds-1360742" target="_blank" rel="noopener">misreporting</a> of about 50% of COVID deaths in nursing homes. Republican and Democratic lawmakers lambasted the governor for suppressing the death toll as the ink dried on his contract to write a memoir about his pandemic response.
On March 25, 2020, Andrew Cuomo ordered that COVID-positive senior citizens could not be &#8220;denied re-admission or admission to the [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.&#8221;
The state reported 6,600 nursing home deaths from the coronavirus in August 2020. The New York Times estimates the accurate number of nursing home deaths total 15,000.
Governor Cuomo&#8217;s aide Melissa DeRosa confessed to state legislators that the administration &#8220;basically&#8221; froze the death toll.
&#8220;We weren&#8217;t sure if what we were going to give to the [Trump administration] Department of Justice … was going to be used against us, [and] we weren&#8217;t sure if there was going to be an investigation,&#8221; DeRosa said.
Democratic state assembly member Ronald Kim went public with the allegations, saying Cuomo called &#8220;to threaten my career if I did not cover up for&#8221; him.
Cuomo still has another ongoing probe into allegations he used state resources to write his book of pandemic memoirs from Attorney General Tish James and Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, per Politico.
If the ethics commission revamps with a new panel, Justice Hartman&#8217;s latest opinion suggests it could launch another action against Cuomo if it chooses.

The morning after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)</a> conducted a raid on former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">President Donald J. Trump&#8217;s</a> Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, former New York Governor Democrat <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/andrew-cuomo">Andrew Cuomo</a> cautioned that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-justice">Department of Justice (DOJ)</a> &#8220;must immediately explain&#8221; its reasoning or face a negative public perception.
Cuomo — who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-andrew-cuomo-to-resign">stepped down</a> in 2021 in disgrace after being accused of sexual harassment by multiple women — has <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-07/andrew-cuomo-says-he-s-been-vindicated-won-t-rule-out-run">reportedly claimed</a> that his own run-in with the law that led to his resignation was politically motivated. Cuomo — an outspoken Trump critic — now says that the DOJ risks undermining the January 6 Committee&#8217;s investigation into the president&#8217;s involvement in the protest that turned into a riot over the results of the 2020 presidential elections without transparency.
&#8220;DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid &amp; it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation &amp; legitimacy of January 6 investigations,&#8221; Cuomo tweeted.

There were dozens of more similar tweets in response to Cuomo, but so far, the DOJ and the FBI have refused to comment.
Meanwhile, the White House has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-claims-it-was-blindsided-by-fbi-raid-on-trumps-mar-a-lago-reports">claimed</a> that it was completely unaware that the execution of the search warrant would occur.
According to multiple reports, the White House said it learned about the raid on Twitter, at the same time the media did.
New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin <a href="https://twitter.com/jmartNYT/status/1556783614582571008">tweeted</a> Monday night, &#8220;Senior White House officials found out about the FBI’s Mar a Lago raid on Twitter, had no notice, per source familiar.&#8221;
CBS News reporter Ed O’Keefe said a top Biden official told him the same thing.
“No advance knowledge. Some learned from old media some from social media,” O’Keefe quoted a senior administration official when <a class="x5l" href="https://twitter.com/edokeefe/status/1556790991570538496" target="_blank" rel="noopener external">asked</a> about the event.
In a lengthy statement, Trump initially <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-raids-trumps-home-at-mar-a-lago">announced</a> the dramatic raid decrying what he characterized as a political move.
The investigation is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-details-emerge-about-what-fbi-agents-were-searching-for-in-raid-on-trump-home-report-says">reportedly</a> centered around classified material Trump brought to Mar-a-Lago from the White House.

Disgraced television host Chris Cuomo announced Tuesday night that he has landed a new job in the news media and that he is going to try to be fair after he was routinely criticized for being a hardcore leftist while at CNN.
&#8220;Well, you are a part of my decision. I respect that you asked the questions. I think that&#8217;s how you show respect to our relationship is that you didn&#8217;t fake the funk. You asked what needs to be asked, I respect you for that,&#8221; Cuomo groveled to anchor Dan Abrams. &#8220;I respect how you do the job. I&#8217;ve been jealous of you while I&#8217;ve been away, watching.&#8221;
&#8220;And I want to help. I want to find a way to help people. I&#8217;m going to come to NewsNation. And I want to build something special here, work with Dan, work with the team here. They&#8217;ve got great people who are really hungry to make a difference in ways that I think matter,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I had decided that I can&#8217;t go back to what people see as the big game. I don&#8217;t think I can make a difference there. I think we need insurgent media. I think we need outlets that aren&#8217;t fringe and just trying to fill their pockets.&#8221;
In trying to gain the trust of viewers, Cuomo warned them not to listen to people who tell them, &#8220;Don&#8217;t listen to anybody else, only listen to me,&#8221; which is effectively the same thing Cuomo was saying.
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to do the job. I&#8217;m going to go where the news is, and I&#8217;m going to try very hard to be fair,&#8221; Cuomo claimed. &#8220;And I want to do it here. I want to make a difference. And I&#8217;m really hoping that it makes a difference for you [the viewer]. And I thank NewsNation very much for the opportunity.&#8221;

The Washington Post <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-disgraced-former-cnn-host-chris-cuomo-gets-hired-by-news-network">reported</a> that the small cable news network aims to provide “down-the-middle, unbiased news reporting and analysis.” It’s unclear how Cuomo helps NewsNation reach its objective considering that he was fired while under investigation at CNN over his alleged role in trying to help his brother, then-New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, navigate a sexual misconduct scandal that ultimately led to his resignation.
Chris Cuomo filed a $125 million lawsuit against CNN, demanding $15 million in lost salary and $110 million in further damages, after he was terminated.
Debra S. Katz, a left-wing attorney, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-cuomo-responds-to-sexual-misconduct-allegations-made-against-him">said</a> in a statement in December that she was representing a client who claimed that Chris Cuomo engaged in “serious sexual misconduct” against her at another network.
Katz said she notified CNN of the allegations and that the allegations are ultimately what led to Chris Cuomo being fired from CNN. Katz said in a statement that Cuomo demonstrated hypocrisy when he claimed he cared “very deeply” about the issue of sexual harassment only to be revealed in an investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James to have aided his brother’s efforts to &#8220;smear&#8221; his accusers.

Disgraced Host Chris Cuomo Announces His New News Job: 'I'm Going To Try Very Hard To Be Fair'

Sidney Wolf, a former senior policy adviser for Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/andrew-cuomo">Andrew Cuomo</a> (D-NY), was struck and killed by a car Sunday after a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lyft">Lyft</a> driver forced him to exit the vehicle, according to police.
The 43-year-old father of two was riding with a group of five friends on Coastal Highway in Delaware in the early hours of Sunday morning, Fox 5 <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/maryland-man-killed-after-lyft-driver-ends-ride-on-dewey-beach-highway-sidney-wolf-former-cuomo-advisor">reported</a>. Wolf and his friends were told to get out of the Lyft vehicle in the middle of the highway before he was fatally struck by another car.
“This is an extremely difficult time for our family,” the Wolf family wrote in a statement to Fox 5. “The level of shock and pain we feel right now cannot be measured as we continue to grieve. We truly appreciate the outpouring of love and support we’ve received and kindly request that the family’s privacy is respected as we move through this process.”
According to police, a disagreement arose between the Lyft driver and the passengers. The driver then stopped in the left lane and forced the passengers to exit the vehicle, according to a police report. Wolf was hit when a Toyota Corolla switched lanes to avoid hitting the Lyft vehicle but did not see Wolf standing in the road. Wolf died on the scene, and the other passengers were unharmed.
The driver of the Toyota pulled over, but according to detectives, the Lyft driver fled the scene in what is believed to be a white Honda Pilot and has yet to be identified by authorities.
A Lyft spokesperson told Fox 5 that the company was “heartbroken” by Wolf’s tragic death. “Our hearts are with the victim&#8217;s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time, and we’ve reached out to the ride requester to offer our support. We are in contact with law enforcement and will assist them however we can,” Lyft said in a statement.

Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo launched his own podcast on Thursday — &#8220;The Chris Cuomo Project&#8221; — marking his official return to broadcasting since he was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/cancelled-cuomo-loses-cnn-job-radio-gig-now-book-contract-pulled/">terminated</a> by CNN last December.
Cuomo was ousted from the cable news giant after reports broke that he had been instrumental in advising his brother — former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) — amid multiple scandals including his handling of the COVID pandemic and allegations of sexual harassment and assault.
The former &#8220;Cuomo Prime Time&#8221; anchor addressed that situation briefly during his first broadcast, sharing a few comments but noting that he had to be respectful of any ongoing investigations.
&#8220;Now for me, the past is the past, and there is no benefit to you if I re-litigate what was said and done involving my brother,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;And there are some outstanding legal fights that I have to respect, but let me be clear. I really do regret how everything ended, but I will never regret helping my family. I promised my father, I would always be there for my brother and I always will be just like he has always been there for me, just like my sisters have been there for me and have been there for him. That’s family,&#8221; Cuomo explained.
As for the new podcast, Cuomo promised fair conversation and dialogue, arguing that progress could only come if people were open-minded and ready to engage with each other.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Cuomo went on to note that, despite his support for his brother and his late father — former Governor Mario Cuomo (D-NY) — he didn&#8217;t always see eye to political eye even with members of his own family.
&#8220;I love my father. I love my brother. I respect them both tremendously, but I’m no Democrat. Not simply because I’m in the media and I am not here to make any of you feel comfortable being a lefty. I want you to question why you are,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;I have Republicans, I have Trumpers among my friends and I mean my real friends, not just, you know, people, I take pictures with at events. My first vote ever — How many reporters tell you this? My first vote ever, George H. W. Bush, 1988.&#8221;
&#8220;That was my first vote that I ever cast,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;But I’m not a Republican either. Now here’s the truth. I am not Democrat or Republican, but not because of what I think of them. It’s because I reject both. I am anti the two-party partisanship. I don’t believe in it. I think the two-party system is part of our problem!&#8221;
Toward that end, one of Cuomo&#8217;s upcoming guests was a former Democratic presidential candidate who left that party to create his own: Andrew Yang.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s do it again!&#8221; Yang tweeted. &#8220;I&#8217;m one of the first guests on @chriscuomo&#8217;s new podcast/interiew series &#8216;The Chris Cuomo Project&#8217; for Free Agents that drops this Thursday on YouTube and wherever you get podcasts.
