NY State Senior Health Department Lawyer Claims Governor Cuomo Was ‘Forced’ Into Signing Nursing Home Law After Sexual Misconduct ‘Blackmail’

EXCERPT:

O'KEEFE (voice-over): "On the eve of the New York mayor’s Democratic mayoral primary election, former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Zoran Mandani are neck-and-neck in the polls. The questions still linger about Cuomo’s final days in office as governor. Last year, New York State Department of Health Senior Counsel Jacob Wilkinson, who worked for former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Governor Kathy Hochul, met with our undercover OMG journalist in New York City. Wilkinson revealed that when Andrew Cuomo was in office, the former governor was forced to sign a poorly written nursing home bill that Wilkinson states the health department can’t implement. Wilkinson explained that his former boss, then-Governor Cuomo, lacked political power, ultimately leading to the signing of the nursing home bill."
