i think there are a lot of questions for his senior staff, especially melissa derosa, who seemingly isses. griff: we are following both of those investigations. before i lose you, mike, i've got to ask you about a new report coming out of your state showing taxpayers are paying up to $1 million a night to house the homeless in new york city since the pandemic started. you can see there it's a simple number, 1 million. what's happening there and what do new york city taxpayers feel about that? >> well, this is a culmination of seven and-a-half years of failed leadership by bill de blasio. he has failed to adequately address the homeless crisis in new york city. it's skyrocketed under his administration because they weren't providing the necessary mental health and drug addiction treatment needed for many of these people who are suffering and they need assistance and so now as a result of his failed leadership and the pandemic, taxpayers are paying million dollars a day to house the homeless in hotels. it's a terrible policy, both from an economic standpoint, it's a terrible policy from

it's not just the comment by melissa derosa saying we froze and we were afraid the numbers would reflectat happened and the numbers were adjusted in that report, which is pretty stunning. in terms of the cnn coverage, you know, with your media analysis hat on, you know, how good of a job are they doing at this point of the nursing home issue and the calls for andrew cuomo to resign? >> it's like being down four touch downs and you get the offense going. last year you had andrew cuomo on the 9:00 p.m. show on cnn, which is anchored by his brother. i believe it was 11 times. ten of the 11 times andrew cuomo wasn't asked about the nursing home scandal once. this is after there was plenty of reporting on this. now only now they're saying that chris cuomo can't cover this because of a conflict of interest. the very conflict of interest that they promoted last year and embraced is a p.r. mess and nightmare for cnn concerning what they did last year saying what they can't do now. >> martha: great to have you on, joe. a story exclusive with the mother and daughter in this viral video. i watched

at this time, we know that the health officials are fighting with melissa derosa, lisa lacewell, and. it went way back to the beginning. andrew cuomo is not just a bully , but he is a guy who engaged in a conspiracy. he is a guy who decided when people should die, when he wrote that order on march 25, he and god decided when death would enter into nursing homes, when people who should have died with dignity in their last years were affected by an illness that no one knew how to resolve and no one knew how to solve. i mean, andrew cuomo is responsible for each one of those deaths, and like any other criminal, like any other serial predator this is a guy who covered it up. he got people around him to cover it up and he cannot be allowed to get away with this. his actions are out and out fraudulent, they are conspirator ial, and i said six weeks ago this guy should be confronted with a grand jury should hear criminally neglect homicide, manslaughter in the second degree which is a reckless homicide as well as the abuse of the elderly as well as endangering the welfare of the elderly. th

one woman accused of an unwanted kiss, saying that governor cuomo threatened his job and then melissa derosaoming forward and admitting we hid nursing home data because we were afraid it was going to make us look bad is sound like there's a governor in new york is drunk on power and forgot that he works for the people not the other way around. rachael: the arrogance that they said is remarkable, he's one of the loudest voices going against brett kavanaugh and the charges against him were from high school and pretty dubious and here he was feeling up his staffers it's very obvious he is a serial sexual harasser although the investigation what i find remarkable is that 56% of new yorkers say that he should still remain as governor and i say if the people of new york think the sexual harassment charges, killing seniors in homes, killing businesses and the vibe of the beautiful city in the way that governor cuomo has, if this is what new yorkers want, let them have it, everybody wants to leave is leaving the state and i guess that's the beauty of our federalism system where you can see how new y

lawyer who's representing the cuomo administration in this investigation declined to confirm that melissa derosamo, was among those officials who have been subpoenaed. but we did get a too i want from lawyers, saying no one should be surprised that the ag's office is requesting documents and interviewing witnesses, including several who work for the governor. that happens in every investigation and was wildly premature. that is this is important in the context of the several investigations that the governor is facing. this is just one of them, this investigation by the attorney general's office. he's also facing a federal investigation being led by the fbi into how his office handled an investigation into nursing homes, but also nursing home data among other things. so a lot going on a lot that the administration is facing. >> athena jones, thank you. >>> fox news is facing a $1.6 billion lawsuit now for misleading and lies about the election. details are right after this. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." ♪ if you have moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can beco

we only found out because his top aide, melissa derosa that said in a closed door meeting that was leakedartment. yes, he lied. he never apologized to the families, by the way. he apologized today to his accusers because he didn't know he disanything wrong. it's just pathetic, lawrence and we'll never see a resignation. his ego is too big. i hope his words get him in trouble. i really do. >> lawrence: janice, you're not a politician. you're not someone that gets involved. you know, we're -- your office is down from mine. you know, the saying i always say, if anybody upsets janice, you're a bad person. did you feel pushed to the edge to get involved? this is not something that you do. >> i'm not a political person. no one knows who i voted for. this has deeply affected my family. i'm standing up for them. my husband's parents and the 15,000 families that want answers and have not gotten them yet. i'll continue to do all i can to raise awareness. because they deserve that. >> lawrence: janice, why did it take a sexual harassment scandal for him to finally apologize? is it more damaging? >>

his own senior aide melissa derosa said this, quote, we were in a position where we weren't sure if what we were going to give to the department of justice or give you guys, the press would be used against us while we weren't sure whether there would be an investigation. that's an admission of a cover-up. thousands of lives. 15,000 deaths in nursing homes in new york is more than 37 u.s. states. so i think while the sexual harassment story is a story and should be investigated he should be given due process which he didn't give to kavanaugh. the bigger story is the nursing home story. >> harris: you hit the nail on the head. it's the bigger story in part because the victims of the nursing home scandal are no longer with us. they are deceased, actual victims and both important stories. i've said this. one just has actual victims who were harmed who are dead. the other thing i would say about this is you know who this benefits if we concentrate only on one thing? four other governors who made the same decision that governor cuomo made about nursing home placements. governor murphy in new j

undercounted nursing home deaths and they started to take it seriously, it's because cuomo's staffer, melissa derosa said we did hide this information because we were afraid it was going to make us look bad. that's a smoking gun. and then after that, his character started to get called into question with ron kim saying he has threatened him. lindsey boylan made the sexual harassment allegation in december and people barely blinked. after this came out, they took her more seriously and now a sixth woman that just came out as well. i would venture a guess that it may be more. >> martha: could be. we've seen the snow ball effect of these kinds of allegations before. the other thing that stuck out to me is that the -- with the nursing home situation, there's now this indication that we just heard bryan talk about that there was also a home for disabled individuals that they also on april 10, the other one was march 25, april 1 to to lead the coronavirus positive patients in these disabled homes as well. >> it's the same directive. the only difference is the directive for disabled individuals is still in

partway through the bash, there was a roast of cuomo's top aide, melissa derosa the roast entailed projectingminent state officials, then asking melissa if she knew their names, and her not knowing.

melissa derosa speaking out, derosa is accused of leading a effort by the administration to alter andta to cover up the truth of the tragedy. she denies this telling bloomberg media accounts have reduced me to a caricature, i'm a human being who truly believes in and cares deeply about government and public service. in a february meeting, derosa admitted to democratic lawmakers that the cuomo administration feared to covid-19 nursing home death data was going to be used against us, which is why they stonewalled multiple official requests for that information. if this is all reportedly the subject of an ongoing fbi investigation. >> bret: brian, thank you. tonight we take you to the heartland where one ohio community is making a radical change to the way it gets energy. correspondent mark meredith reports tonight from just outside of cincinnati. >> once a sprawling soybean field, this southwest ohio farm is about to begin producing solar powered. >> we have 600,000 panels throughout the project. they track the sun throughout the day. >> qua smith the firm interject, his company are off

"the wall street journal" was reporting melissa derosa who led staffers who basically harassed half aormer and current staffers to basically discredit lindsay boylan and the accusers. so is this obstruction the of justice? >> well, possibly. you know, here's the line, right? i mean, it's easy, it's permissible, if ugly, for politicians to reach out to other politicians and say stop trying to get me impeached or stop trying to get me to resign. but when you start dealing with the actual victims of these incidents, then you're playing with fire because you might be in a position where you are orchestrating an obstruction of justice. if you've got people that are being told things like, hey, this is going to get really rough for you, are you sure you want to go down this road, it's going to be really embarrassing, there's a flavor of obstruction that a criminal prosecutor would want to listen to and figure out if they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt pretty quickly when it comes to that type of, you know, interference with the normal ability of a plaintiff or a complainant to come for

does appear to be a criminal investigation in to the coverup which was admitted by cuomo's aide melissa derosave seen a number of people leave the administration. cuomo hired a defense attorney. they have seen people leave. all they have to do is the defense will come in. it's a crime. it's very clear this could be a federal crime on multiple levels. withholding information or whatever they tried to cover up. i just wanted to add this man is a megalomaniac. so he has no idea -- he looks in the mirror and he sees a crown on his head and a septor in his hands. he will never own up to the death that came at his hands. his apology to the women was sorry, you doesn't get my sense of humor or sorry you felt uncomfortable. don't expect anything from him. but i promise justice will come for the families. >> emily: harris, to dagen's point you covered on your show last hour, we heard 17 apologies from governor cuomo yesterday in a sexual harassment presser. as you put it, zero for zero regarding all of those deaths in the nursing homes under his watch. >> harris: yeah, you know what else we heard in th

the top aides, including the most powerful melissa derosa. it comes as the back drop against two things. justify the further clarity that so much of this might have been motivated by cuomo and his efforts to write that back during the pandemic. we remember the early days of the coronavirus. president trump would offer his scattershot briefings and cuomo was somber, serious, reassuring. a lot of people all over the country drew real comfort in that, even those who lived thousands of miles away from new york state, whose own states weren't battling the virus like cuomo did. he was praised. and now it comes against the pack drop of allegations of sexual harassment. cuomo is already in a politically weakened stance. he denied that he ever touched anyone inappropriately. we have been through that on this show. a number of women say they felt uncomfortable. he apologized this week for doing so. and it's a lot of elected officials in new york who have long been kowed by him. they have suddenly found their voices. he's in a vulnerable position right

york attorney general latisha games issuing subpoenas to top aides, a subpoena also going to melissa derosan: how much more do the people of new york, do those whose elderly relatives were killed by the governor's nursing home order, women who were sexually harassed, how much more do we have to take from this sociopath, this monster, this human amedic. the stew ben county manager, jack wheeler, said he wanted a single round of tests for his county's three nursing homes but had to beg for them across the state while relatives, chris cuomo and andy cuomo's mother got tests but not people who wanted them for nursing homes. more than 15,000 elderly people dead because of andy cuomo, a number that he tried might ely to cover up, stonewalling everyone from the press to families who wanted answers. again, the whole thing to do is really put into high gear the impeachment proceedings in albany but that falls on the assembly speaker, carl heftie. i'm without words. i have the words, i just can't use them on national television at 7:30 in the morning. maria: yeah. i mean, it's extraordinary. and you

we know there was a coverup because melissa derosa told fellow democrat, i think the reason that theg out and saying i was sexually harassed by andrew cuomo is because his bullying, his threats, his harassment, his horrific behavior toward anyone who challenged him was starting to come out. we know that his flunky, rich asaparti went after janice dean verbally and even her sister-in-law, they both their loved ones, a mother and father-in-law for janice dean in nursing homes and we know he harassed ron kim, we know he called him on the phone and was screaming at him while he's bathing his three daughters and everyone starts coming out and saying yeah, this is typical behavior from andy cuomo. once the dominoes start falling, it allows women and protects them to come forward and say this is how i was treated allegedly by the governor. i know you want to get to something else. maria: we heard from his brother, we heard from cnn anchor, brother to the governor, chris cuomo this week. he addressed the elephant in the room on his show last night, saying he will not be covering his brother'

steve: well, you know, we have been detailing on the program about how melissa derosa, on that zoom callold democrats, yeah, we doctored the numbers in july. and now the doj is looking at all those numbers. why? because -- and this goes to carly's point about how they're calling for all the documents regarding his book. think about it, he doctored the numbers in july because he was paid million or millions of dollars for a book that was going to come out four months later. if the book came out and essentially the headlines were, yeah, i was governor of new york state during the pandemic and i killed 15,000 people, that is not going to sell many books. and that is one of the reasons why family members of the victims are saying that he essentially should donate the money from the book either to a memorial or to the families who are struggling who lost loved ones because of this -- ainsley: do you think he'll do it? steve: only if he's forced to. ainsley: right. so in the new york daily news, they wrote: don't let scandal distract from confidence. that infuriated janice dean. she tweeted ou

the death toll reporting in nursing homes in february, after it was revealed that cuomo aide melissa derosallow democrats that they essentially were withholding the information, that there was a coverup afoot, federal prosecutors began looking into this in february and they have expressed interest in this july report. the new york times article goes on to kind of lay it out even more clearly, that the extraordinary intervention came just as mr. cuomo was starting to write a book on his pandemic achievements. and was the earliest act yet known in what critics have called a months-long effort by the governor and his aides to object of secure the full scope of nursing home deaths. this is a coverup. and because it involves people in nursing homes, there are -- justice department was already investigating it. they were dragging their feet and stonewall and covering up requests for information by the justice department. people could very well go to jail as they should. but cuomo is somebody who is clearly lived in a bubble of privilege and power his entire life. he's been governor way too long.
