Is this a thing?
Sounds like the DOJ might get involved.

Well that would make it a scandal if he reclassified them to make the numbers look less bad.

But I wonder why the "Energy and Commerce Committee" would be the one to need them?
Seems like not the appropriate committee.

Well everyone was a bullshitter. That’s why targeting Trump by the MSM was what it was, a hit job.

It took months and a lawsuit to get the numbers they now have. And the deeper they dig, the more stuff they find.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been pleading with lawmakers for support and even threatening political retribution against Democrats who have criticized him in an aggressive effort to contain political fallout from revelations that his administration had concealed the full extent of nursing home-related deaths during the Covid pandemic.
Describing an alleged exchange with the governor that has not been previously reported, Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim told CNN that he received a call on his cell phone from the governor last week as he was bathing his children at home.
"Gov. Cuomo called me directly on Thursday to threaten my career if I did not cover up for Melissa [DeRosa] and what she said. He tried to pressure me to issue a statement, and it was a very traumatizing experience," Kim said. Cuomo proceeded to tell the assemblyman that "we're in this business together and we don't cross certain lines and he said I hadn't seen his wrath and that he can destroy me," according to Kim.
Cuomo's adviser denied that the governor threatened to destroy Kim.
"No man has ever spoken to me like that in my entire life," Kim said of his phone call with Cuomo. "At some point he tried to humiliate me, asking: 'Are you a lawyer? I didn't think so. You're not a lawyer.' It almost felt like in retrospect he was trying to bait me and anger me and say something inappropriate. I'm glad I didn't."
Kim's wife told CNN that she had overheard parts of Kim's phone call with Cuomo last week, and described the governor as "loud" and "angry." She said she heard Cuomo say, "Who do you think you are?" as well as the words, "my wrath," and that immediately after the phone call, her husband told her: "The governor threatened to destroy my life."
Cuomo's efforts to reach Kim appeared to continue through the weekend. Kim said he received multiple calls from a "No Caller ID" number, followed by messages from Cuomo aides saying that the governor would like to speak with him again. Kim said he did not return the phone calls. He has since hired a lawyer, telling CNN that he believed this was necessary following Cuomo's first call which made him feel that the governor had asked him to lie about what had happened in last week's virtual call. He said he has informed the governor's office that any outreach should be made through his counsel.

Probably depends on details such as whether the numbers are falsified or just reworded, euphemized, or generously recategorized.
