New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is under investigation for his role in covering up COVID-19 related nursing home deaths in March 2020.

He ordered COV patients to nursing homes instead of hospitals.

He then wrote a self-aggrandizing book covering up his sins. The book, titled, โ€œAmerican Crisis: Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,โ€ is now under scrutiny as investigators look for further evidence.

โ€œThe U.S. Department of Justice has subpoenaed material connected to a memoir written by the Democratic governor of New York Andrew Cuomo, as part of an investigation into a possible cover-up of COVID deaths in the stateโ€™s nursing homes,โ€ the Daily Mailย reportedย on Tuesday.

โ€œProsecutors in the U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Office for the Eastern District of New York are said to have requested communications associated with Cuomoโ€™s book, American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,โ€ the report noted.

โ€œThe DOJ is said to be after a host of materials that would have been used during the pitching process to publishers โ€“ including various contracts and documents,โ€ the report added.

โ€˜If reflections memorialized in records and notes are inconsistent with what he was saying publicly or with disclosures to health or government officials, that is potentially problematic,โ€™ former federal prosecutor Michael Weinsteinย toldย the Wall Street Journal, which broke the report.

โ€œIn the 2020 fiscal year, Cuomo reported $3,120,000 in income from his book deal,โ€ the APย reported. โ€œThat means his federal AGI would have been $473,343 without the book. He is slated to receive another $2 million from the deal over the next two tax yearsโ€”presumably fiscal years 2021 and 2022.โ€

โ€œCuomo says he incurred $117,960 in expenses from โ€˜American Crisis,โ€™ and that he paid a cool $1,464,532 in taxes on that income,โ€ the report added. โ€œThatโ€™s a total net income in 2020 of $1,537,508 from the book deal. Of that, Cuomo says $500,000 was given to the United Way for COVID response. And Cuomo says that the remainderโ€”$1,037,508โ€”was put into a trust for his daughters.โ€

Janice Dean thinks the book could be his downfall.
