House Panel to Investigate Cuomo Ex-Aide Over Nursing Home Deaths Role
- House committee to probe "potential lies" by Cuomo's ex-aide Melissa DeRosa regarding her role in the nursing home directive
- Former NY health commissioner Zucker testified DeRosa played a "critical role" in drafting and implementing the nursing home order
- Zucker's testimony contradicts DeRosa's previous claims that she had no involvement or expertise on the order
- Order potentially caused 1,000+ additional nursing home deaths according to analysis
- DeRosa facing questions over discrepancies; her attorney denies Zucker said she had critical role specifically in March 25 nursing home guidance
