Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel says an investigation into Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s handling of nursing homes during the CCP virus pandemic isn’t currently warranted, after a number of Republican lawmakers called for a probe into virus-related deaths in the state’s long-term care facilities.
Nessel, a Democrat, said in a March 15 statement that she “will not hesitate to act when justified,” but that she wouldn’t “abuse the investigatory powers of this Department to launch a political attack on any state official, regardless of party or beliefs.”
