Andrew Cuomo: Why is New York's governor facing controversy?
Longtime New York Governor Andrew Cuomo - seen by some Americans as a hero of the pandemic - is now facing allegations of a Covid cover-up, bullying and harassment.
Mr Cuomo, who has been governor for more than a decade, is under scrutiny from his own party for allegedly hiding the true number of deaths in New York care homes.
He is also facing allegations of bullying, including from the mayor of New York City, and claims of sexual harassment from a former aide.

“This about getting justice for our families here in New York, who are grieving their loved ones, who deserve answers and to know why it is that their loved ones were moved without their consent. Why some of them were given near-lethal cocktails as supposed medicine and didn’t necessarily receive the appropriate medical care that we expect to receive?” Queens state Senator Jessica Ramos said.
