NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A lawsuit, filed by family members of nursing home residents who allegedly died of COVID-19, against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was dismissed Monday.
U.S. Federal Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall of the Eastern District of New York granted a motion to dismiss the Arbeeny v. Cuomo lawsuit.
"The judge today ruled to dismiss this case just as the DOJ - which launched three separate probes - and the Manhattan district attorney did previously," said Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi. "Once again, justice has prevailed."
He added, "During the last four years, the debate over COVID in nursing homes has been weaponized, distorted and contorted beyond recognition by those using this situation for their own politics. However, anytime this gets taken out of the political arena, the truth wins."
