>> yes, sir. >> the new york state department of health also posted a daily report specific to nursing home deaths on a publicly available web page right? >> i don't know specifically what the department of health had separately. >> okay. initially, the nursing home fatality data included deaths both in facility and out of facility meaning in the nursing homes and the nursing home patients who were moved out of the facility to a hospital. in early may 2020, this reporting changed to only in facility beths. was this change your decision? >> no, sir. >> whose decision was it? >> i don't know. >> this change made the reported number of nursing home related deaths lower. do you know if that was the reason for changing the reporting? >> no, from a doctor. every day, i personally did a daily briefing and reported the number of deaths. the surest place with the most certainty. this was the place where they died. total nursing home deaths. total hospital deaths. i had confidence in those numbers. as the republicans started this nursing home scandal theory, there were more requests for more sub

new york state department, which would say, okay, you're allowed to say these things. you're not allowed to report this news. so i'm sure that's part of it, but i think the big thing is the run up to the election. yeah right now. and trying to silence the very bad news for ukraine that's coming out of per crushed and out of this disastrous decision to send troops up to crust or to fight over nothing. the just wasted. let's come back to this, this topic of freedom of speech because it seems like we're heading in a very scary direction. we've had, you know, it's heather ground, so he's toppled through all say the rest and charges and, and, and frogs. and then we had zack, a bug zable michelle, him say, but washington had told him to send sisters and topics on his platforms. and now it, we know we've been silenced in the us and in the west at the past 2 years now. so what direction are we heading into what it seems like could be coming to know with a sense and to, to, you know, scare people who have a different opinion? well, one of the great dangers to the american polit

because this is just basically words and the same time you have a washington new york state department which has been interfering in the social media in the country, which is spread around the world. and yet that is freedom of speech. that is democracy. that's a big difference within our state funded media. i believe. you mean no one in this building gets to tell anyone that v o a or a fee or are out what to say do are right. they ask us questions and we answer them . that's the difference between a state funded media organization in a democracy and one in an authoritarian government. the leader of r t is admitted that that's what she does and they do. and we've now given you a norm as examples of how dangerous it is around the world, and i sure hope it meets your definition of something new. and wanting to know in a couple of days after that's metal band us. where is the democracy here? where's freedom of speech? this is the definition of freedom of speech. we have it here in ross or you can watch whatever you want in the west. you can and there also affects the other countries, like

investigation by democratic new york attorney general letitia james james found that the new york state department of health, under counted covid deaths among residents of nursing homes by about 50% essentially by leaving out deaths of residents who had been transferred to hospitals joining us now to discuss the chairman of this select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. republican congressman brad wenstrup of ohio, who is a doctor congressman. thanks for joining us. so the subcommittees out today with your findings after looking into the nursing home advisory and you're accusing cuomo and his administration of editing health documents and hiding the nursing home mortality rate. what evidence do you have to back that up? >> well, i think we've done a myriad of transcribed interviews and we've gone through 500,000 or so documents in the process. so there's a lot of evidence there and we put out the full transcripts so you can see what people said to us in this whole process will look, let's just start as a docker and it was so many people dying. you know, i look at this directive and that's a

the hearing focusing on this march 2020, new york state health department advisory quote, no resonance shall be denied readmission or admission to the nursing home solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of covid-19, two months after that, cuomo started facing tough questions about this order at his daily coronavirus briefings, i think the rule that you can't discriminate against the covid patient is right. congress now questioning cuomo not just on that policy, but how reporting resonant deaths changed initially, the nursing home fatality data included deaths both both in facility and out of facility. however, in early may 2020, this reporting changed to only in facility deaths was this change your decision? >> no, sir whose decision was it? i don't know an answer. lawmakers found lacking. >> it is scientifically significant to know where how and why someone contracted covid-19 and died and making their frustrations clear, it is a disgrace you will never hold elected office again, but for governor cuomo the buck stopped somewhere else. this was a national issue with the pre

the court of which you speak 1st, department of new york state's appellate division is one of the finest i'm in the country. but i have to express that disappointment, any handling of my case, the plaintiff allegations in the complaint, i suppose to be deemed true for the purposes of abolishing that this semester, which is where we were at before the appellate court has the proper, properly dismissed a contrary to this rule, at this preliminary stage, and therefore before expert reports were doing, i could've obtained had because not been the semester, the irish material, the 1st department ruled the taskbar, the allegations were pure speculation. and in contrast to many other cases, i've seen dismissing further speculation, the appellate court did not set forth the allegations on which the relate are based attached to another words they didn't put forward in the opinion, any of the documents, the 10 or so documents that i had showing the fraud or describe them or explain why there was speculation is like one paragraphs. i've seen many cases, the semester fraud on the ground, that the pl

it would require the governor of new york not to be responsible for his own state's health department, and for the fault to lie, instead with the former president for policies implemented by the governor and contrary to federal guidance, the president released. it's a stunning story. i'm more concerned about what i heard today. this hearing was an opportunity to learn about our covid-19 response and how we could improve future responses. i want you to understand that. that is our goal. there's no convictions here. this is about trying to be better in the future. so that some of the people sitting right here today who lost loved ones in the nursing homes don't have to experience that again. that's what we're after. what was presented this afternoon was biased information and statements from a governor who refused to admit he ever did anything wrong, especially as it relates to the covid response. honesty, clarity and truth make all the difference. this is an opportunity to admit to the mistakes we may have had to make sure that they don't happen again. you're not on trial here today. i
