New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday called for a "full accounting" of the circumstances behind an alleged coverup by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration of the number of New Yorkers who died in nursing homes in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"It's very troubling. We've got to know more. We now need a full accounting of what happened," he said on "The Brian Lehrer Show."

"Think about seniors, who their [sic] lives were in the balance and their families, you know, just desperate to get them the help they needed," he said. "We need to know exactly what happened here. We need to make sure nothing like this ever happens again."

Meanwhile, among Republicans, Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., has called for a federal obstruction of justice investigation into the New York nursing home situation.

Other New York Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, demanded that Cuomo and his "senior team" be "prosecuted immediately" at the state and federal levels, regarding the nursing home deaths.
