DeRosa is also the daughter-in-law of Southern District US Attorney Audrey Strauss.
Rep Malliotakis discussed serious concerns over this appointment and brought the potential for a major scandal to light. “The irony here is that this woman actually was appointed by the Biden administration to serve as an adviser for COVID.”
“So that’s the letter I issued yesterday to the Biden administration saying that, look, you can’t have somebody who you know admitted to knowing of a cover-up and possibly participated — most likely participated in that cover-up — advising your administration on COVID policy. You can’t have somebody who took part in the decision to issue the executive order that led to 15,000 deaths in nursing homes advising your administration on COVID if you want to be taken seriously,” the New York lawmaker said.

Malliotakis reviewed the nursing home scandal which continues to plague the Cuomo administration. She explained the decision to send the elderly back to nursing homes was to “preserve hospital capacity,” despite former President Donald J Trump sending the Naval hospital ship USNS Comfort to mitigate potential overflow. Likewise, military constructed field hospitals like the Javits Center field hospital.
