Andrew Cuomo is embracing a federal investigation as campaign fuel, touting it in a new ad as he runs for New York City mayor.
The ad frames the probe—launched by Trump’s Justice Department over Cuomo’s pandemic-era testimony—as a political attack. “If Donald Trump doesn’t want Andrew Cuomo as mayor, you do,” it declares, linking his case to other high-profile charges against Democrats.
Cuomo’s team insists he testified truthfully about nursing home data. Despite resigning as governor in 2021, he leads the Democratic field as current mayor Eric Adams runs for reelection as an independent.
