New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul has urged the Department of Justice to “stop targeting Democrats here in New York” amid a flurry of investigations into high-ranking past and present government officials of the Empire State.
During a press conference in Albany on Wednesday, Hochul was asked by a reporter if she thought the slew of investigations into high profile Democrat lawmakers were politically motivated. “Hell, yeah,” Hochul answered.
“The question is when will [U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi] stop politicizing the Department of Justice and just do their jobs?” Hochul asked reporters.
On Tuesday, the Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his responses to Republicans on his handling of the COVID-19 lockdowns.
In March, Cuomo announced his intention to run for mayor of New York City, taking on current Democrat Eric Adams who has fallen out of favor with the liberal establishment over his embrace of some of President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration policies. Adams has since seen his own federal investigation dropped by Bondi’s DOJ.
