78% Informative

Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded that the leaks were orchestrated by senior DOJ officials and violated department policies governing interactions with the press about ongoing investigations.

The report laid bare internal tensions at the Justice Department over how to handle the nursing home-related investigations.

Aides to Cuomo say the report vindicates their claims that DOJ targeted the then-governor for political reasons.

Cuomo came under criticism for a March 2020 order that required nursing homes and long-term care facilities to not turn away Covid -positive patients.

Cuomo resigned in 2021 , following sexual harassment allegations that he has denied.

A House subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic last year concluded that Cuomo lied about editing a report on Covid deaths.
