Report: Feds to Probe Nursing Home COVID-19 Death Figures

Gov. Andrew Cuomo

There is a report the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn are investigating the Cuomo administration's handling of the COVID death numbers in nursing homes.

That's according to an unnamed official who spoke to NBC.

While there are currently no allegations of wrongdoing, The Albany Times Union reports that authorities are looking at how the governor's COVID task force handled nursing homes during the coronavirus crisis.

The governor's office says it will cooperate with the investigation.

The state Attorney General reported this month that the state under-reported the deaths of nursing home residents by as much as 50 percent.
