Justice department opens inquiry into Andrew Cuomo's Covid-19 response

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : The answer is obvious: this is lawfare and election interference plain and simple - something President Trump and his top Department of Justice officials say they are against.
34% : Pirro was appointed by Trump after Martin's nomination to permanently run the office was withdrawn following Senate Republicans' concern over his ability to serve, the New York Times reported.
28% : A leaked recording of Melissa DeRosa, a top Cuomo aide, had her admitting to Democrats that the state withheld the actual numbers out of fear that the justice department would pursue complaints of state misconduct, according to the New York Post.
27% : The investigation was launched after Republicans accused Cuomo of mishandling the state's response to the Covid-19 pandemic, multiple outlets reported on Tuesday. Kicked off about a month ago by the US attorney's office in Washington, the inquiry follows a criminal referral made by James Comer, a Republican representative of Kentucky and chair of the House committee on oversight and government reform.
22% : The apparent investigation into Cuomo comes as Adams, a Democrat who announced his intention to run for re-election as an independent, is at the heart of a scandal over his acquiescence to Trump officials to cooperate on immigration crackdowns while attempting to evade criminal charges.
