The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said Wednesday it is requesting data from the Democratic governors of Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, and New Jersey on COVID-19-related orders that may have resulted in the deaths of thousands elderly nursing home residents.

Letters were sent to Govs. Andrew Cuomo of New York, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania, and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. Cuomo, namely, has come under fire from Republicans over how his state handled nursing homes in the midst of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
