💨 Abstract

The U.S. Justice Department is investigating Andrew Cuomo, a leading Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, over allegations that he lied to Congress about his actions as New York governor during the COVID-19 pandemic. The probe comes amid criticism that the Justice Department is targeting political rivals of former President Donald Trump. Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 due to sexual harassment allegations, denies the claims and accuses the investigation of being politically motivated.
