The Department of Justice has opted not to open a civil rights investigation into New York's government-run nursing homes and whether they violated residents' rights with their handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. It gives Gov. Andrew Cuomo one less probe to worry about.

There's the federal investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office into whether the Cuomo administration intentionally covered up data on nursing home deaths. And state Attorney General Tish James' probe into multiple sexual misconduct allegations against the governor and a host of other matters. And then there's the Assembly's impeachment investigation.
