New York Assemblyman Michael Montesano (R) is planning to ask the state legislature to look into filing articles of impeachment against Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo after his top aide appeared to admit that the administration allegedly covered up data on CCP virus nursing home deaths to evade a Department of Justice investigation.

“We’ve been calling for subpoenas and a hearing for quite a while,” Montesano told Fox News according to an article published on Feb. 13. “This news of the last several days is extremely troubling to me and I’m going to be asking today for his resignation and I’m also going to be asking the legislature to look into, to explore filing articles of impeachment against the governor if he doesn’t resign.”
