New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) writes in American Crisis that White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows implied a threat about federal funding for hospitals in New York state, Axios reports.
Writes Cuomo: “Meadows said that they wanted the results from the tests on hydroxychloroquine. I told him, as I told the president, that the tests were being done by the hospitals and when they were complete they would be sent to the FDA. I didn’t know how long they took, but no one had any interest in causing undue delay.”
“Meadows then communicated to me that the federal government was about to send out funding for hospitals and strongly implied that if the tests weren’t completed, New York wouldn’t receive any funding.”
