 The Department of Justice will not open a civil investigation into the Covid-19 response in state nursing homes in New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan, after the department was seeking to determine whether policies issued during the pandemic requiring Covid-19 patients to be admitted into the facilities may have contributed to deaths.


The announcement in a letter sent to GOP Rep. Steve Scalise prompted swift outrage from him and other Republicans who have accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, of covering up Covid-19-related deaths in nursing homes in his state. Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing, but the state's handling of the data surrounding deaths in long-term care facilities has been the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation by the US attorney's office in Brooklyn.


Last August, the Justice Department under the Trump administration requested Covid-19 data from the four states that issued orders requiring Covid-19 patients to be admitted to nursing homes, which the department said "may have resulted" in the deaths of nursing home residents.

The death of thousands of Americans in Nursing Homes is not a cause for investigation? Those people paid taxes, raised children, served their Country and is ok to be treated like that?           Just a Very Sad thought.
