Two Michigan Representatives in Congress, Lisa McLain and Bill Huizenga, both Republicans, sent a letter to the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz demanding answers to several questions.
McLain and Huizenga are requesting a formal investigation and want to know who made the final decision to forgo investigation, what data exonerated Governor Gretchen Whitmer of any wrongdoing, if there was any contact with the Whitmer Administration and the Department of Justice, and whether anyone from the Office of President Biden was in contact with the DOJ regarding the Michigan inquiry.
The questions all have to do with the decision to place COVID-19 patients into long-term care facilities, and the subsequent infection and death of thousands of nursing home patients.
Congresswoman Lisa McLain said, “Thousands of Michigan families deserve to know why the State of Michigan and Governor Whitmer chose to put their loved ones’ lives at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic. She continued, “We are demanding answers because no one seems to want to investigate Governor Whitmer’s mishandlings of this crisis.”
