Former Secretary to the Governor Steven Cohen came to the defense of his successor, Melissa DeRosa, on Thursday in reinforcing the administration’s claim that there was no cover-up in regard to the underreporting of nursing home deaths.
Cohen held a call with reporters clarifying DeRosa’s commentary two weeks ago that sparked accusations that the state legislature had been kept in the dark about COVID-19 fatalities in nursing homes while a U.S. Department of Justice inquiry into the matter was being attended to.
