Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is set to testify publicly before Congress next week regarding his controversial nursing home advisory during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. Cuomo, who previously testified behind closed doors in June before the House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, will now appear before the same panel on September 10.
Rep. Brad Wenstrup, the Ohio Republican who chairs the subcommittee, emphasized the importance of Cuomo providing answers to the families of the 15,000 individuals who lost their lives in New York's nursing homes during the pandemic. Cuomo's spokesperson confirmed his upcoming testimony, stating that the former governor is eager to address the critical question of preventing future Covid-19 related deaths.
