Governor Andrew Cuomo and his staff were in the spotlight after their alleged cover-up of nursing home deaths.[1]

In January 2021, Attorney General of New York Letitia James released a report finding that Governor Andrew Cuomo had understated the toll of COVID-19-related deaths in state nursing homes by as much as 50 percent.[2] The scandal was made public on February 11, 2021, when the New York Post reported that Melissa DeRosa, a secretary and aide to Cuomo, privately apologized to lawmakers for the administration withholding the nursing-home death toll in fear that then-President Donald Trump would "turn this into a giant political football".[2]

The nature of the scandal is widely known as an "alleged cover up".[1] U.S. Attorney Seth DuCharme of the Eastern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have launched an investigation into New York state's handling of nursing home deaths.[3] The United States Department of Justice began a criminal investigation against Cuomo over the matter in 2025.
