Cuomo book deal under scrutiny
A new scandal is swirling around Governor Andrew Cuomo and the $4M book deal he negotiated in 2020.
NEW YORK - Amid accusations of sexual harassment and doctoring nursing home death numbers, Governor Andrew Cuomo is now facing new scrutiny. This time about the book he wrote about his leadership during the COVID pandemic.
The New York Times is reporting that during negotiations for his four-million-dollar book deal last June, senior aides, including Melissa DeRosa were allegedly falsifying the number of nursing home deaths so it would not tarnish the Governor s image as a national leader and hurt book sales.

They also argued the 50(A) repeal was too broad, mandating even unsubstantiated allegations of misconduct be made public.
“That information can be used to destroy careers of people. It may put them at risk in many cases,” said Hank Scheinkopf, a spokesman for the coalition of public safety unions fighting to keep the files secret.
On Tuesday, a panel of federal judges ruled against the unions, upholding a lower court’s order to release the records.
