New details about Cuomo’s VIP COVID-19 testing scheme revealed

A top state physician who was tasked with solving coronavirus-testing issues at New York nursing homes made several hours-long visits to CNN host Chris Cuomo’s Hamptons house to test him for the virus, according to a new report.

Around the same time, Kenneth Cole — the fashion designer who is married to the Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s sister — received preferential coronavirus testing at a state-run facility.

Those stories were among a number of new details revealed by the Washington Post about the VIP treatment for coronavirus testing overseen by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Seven people with firsthand knowledge of the alleged favoritism — who spoke anonymously out of fear of retribution from the governor — detailed the preferential treatment to the newspaper.
