With just weeks to go until New York City's mayoral primary, one of the leading candidates, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, finds himself under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. He seems to think it might actually help.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is turning the accusation, a staple of Donald Trump's four criminal indictments, against the Justice Department amid reports that Cuomo − now running for mayor of New York City − is under federal investigation.

The inquiry follows a House GOP referral that alleges Cuomo lied when testifying before Congress about his handling of the COVID pandemic.
