Trump administration orders investigation after Gov. Mills publicly defies president over transgender policy

Gov. Janet Mills and President Donald Trump got into a heated exchange at the White House on Friday over his threats to cut off all federal funding to Maine because transgender athletes are allowed to compete in girls' sports.

The Trump administration has initiated an investigation into Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York, focusing on his handling of nursing homes during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak. This inquiry, led by the Department of Justice, stems from allegations that Cuomo's policies might have contributed to the high death toll among nursing home residents. Critics argue that his directive, which required nursing homes to accept patients recovering from the virus, potentially accelerated the spread of the disease within these facilities. The investigation also looks into claims that the Cuomo administration underreported the number of nursing home deaths to downplay the severity of the situation.
