House Republicans have threatened to subpoena former New York Gove. Andrew Cuomo, asserting that he is “stonewalling congressional oversight” into his state’s “deadly COVID-19 ’must admit' nursing home policies.”

The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic announced their threat in an Oct. 11 post on X, formerly Twitter, linking to a letter (pdf) sent to Mr. Cuomo, pointing out that around 15,000 elderly Americans died during the time this policy was in place.
