State Senior Health Department Lawyer Claims Cuomo Blackmailed During Covid

The bombshell undercover video exposing a New York State Health Department lawyer’s shocking claims about former Governor Andrew Cuomo reveals the depths of corruption and political blackmail in the Democratic Party. Jacob Wilkinson, a senior lawyer for the NY Health Department, was caught on tape admitting that Cuomo was “forced” into signing a nursing home reform bill amid sexual misconduct allegations—a clear indication of the extortion tactics used by the left to push their agenda.

Cuomo’s Downfall: A Story of Blackmail and Weak Leadership

Wilkinson’s explosive statements confirm what conservatives have long suspected: Cuomo’s resignation in 2021 wasn’t just about accountability—it was about power. “When Cuomo was getting that investigation, he didn’t have a lot of political power,” Wilkinson told an OMG journalist. “His political power went down, right? And so, he was pushed to sign this group of legislation.” This admission proves that Cuomo, a Democrat darling once celebrated by the liberal media, was nothing more than a weak leader who caved to pressure rather than standing firm.

Even more damning, Wilkinson suggested that Cuomo was “kind of” blackmailed, stating, “He apparently didn’t give them what they wanted. That’s why they exposed him.” This is the same Cuomo who was hailed as a “hero” by CNN and MSNBC during the pandemic—only for the truth to reveal a man whose administration covered up nursing home deaths and then folded under blackmail.

The Nursing Home Bill: A Political Weapon

Wilkinson also revealed that the controversial nursing home bill—which many believe contributed to the deaths of thousands of vulnerable seniors—was essentially written by the Nurses Association, a powerful left-wing lobbying group. Instead of prioritizing public health, Cuomo’s administration allowed political operatives to dictate policy while the liberal media turned a blind eye.

Compare this to President Donald Trump, who consistently fought against deep state corruption and media manipulation. While Democrats like Cuomo were busy covering up scandals, Trump was working to drain the swamp—exposing the very kind of backroom deals and blackmail that Wilkinson’s confession confirms.

Liberal Media’s Hypocrisy on Full Display

Where was The New York Times or The Washington Post when this story broke? Silent, as usual, when it involves exposing Democrat corruption. These outlets spent years vilifying Trump with baseless accusations while ignoring real scandals like Cuomo’s nursing home cover-up and now, alleged blackmail. The double standard is glaring.

President Trump, meanwhile, has been a bulwark against this kind of corruption, calling out the media and deep state operatives who protect their own. While Democrats engage in blackmail and cover-ups, Trump stands for transparency and accountability—something the left fears.
