When the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice suddenly decided to drop all investigations of nursing home deaths linked to decisions by certain State Governors to send coronavirus patients to nursing homes, many people were left without answers as to why they made this decision. One group of Michigan representatives took action, themselves serving in a state with one of those Governors, Gretchen Whitmer.
The reprpesentatives signed a letter asking for the Inspector General to investigate the DOJ’s decision–making process to suddenly drop these major investigations into the deaths of tens of thousands of elderly, espcially in the states of Michigan and New York.

Three members of Congress from Michigan are asking the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a formal inquiry as to why the department dropped its investigation of nursing home deaths in the state.
The DOJ announced July 22 it would cease an investigation into Michigan nursing home deaths from COVID-19 and whether those deaths were a result of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s policies. The investigation was begun during the administration of former President Donald Trump.
“Families all across the state are demanding answers for why their loved ones were locked in facilities with Covid carrying individuals,” according to the letter signed by Republican U.S. Reps. Lisa McClain, Tim Walberg, and Bill Huizenga.
The three members of Congress noted 5,681 people died in the state’s long-term care facilities as of July 21, 2021.
