Gov. Andrew Cuomo used a press briefing Wednesday to hurl unfounded allegations at a state lawmaker who accused him of obstructing justice by covering up nursing home deaths from COVID-19 — and returned to blaming The Post for exposing the scandal engulfing his administration.
During a telephone conference call at which he declined for a second time this week to take questions from The Post, Cuomo said he and Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens) have an “open and hostile relationship” that goes back to legislation enacted in 2015 to regulate nail salons.
