💨 Abstract

With New York City's mayoral primary approaching, leading candidate Andrew Cuomo is under a U.S. Department of Justice investigation regarding his statements about the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuomo's campaign is framing this as political interference by the Trump administration, encouraging voters to support him against "bullies." The investigation focuses on Cuomo's testimony about handling COVID-19 in nursing homes. Some opponents accuse him of perjury, while others criticize the investigation as politicized.
