3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Brad Wenstrup, (R) Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman:
"Governor you own this. It’s your name on the letterhead. This is your directive, whether you knew about it or not. You’re the leader. The buck stops with you. Or at least it should."
4. Cutaway of Cuomo listening
5. Cutaway of hearing
6. Various cutaways of Cuomo swearing in to give testimony
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Andrew Cuomo, (D) Former New York Governor:
"And yes, I often vehemently disagreed with President (Donald) Trump because from day one he willfully deceived the American people, denying COVID’s very real threat, telling us that it was like the flu. It would go away by Easter. It was a Democratic hoax. Use Clorox. And his lies and denials delayed our response, let the virus spread. And this country never caught up."
8. Cutaway of hearing
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Andrew Cuomo, (D) Former New York Governor:
"In addition, the report provides no evidence to support Trump’s main allegation, repeated for three years that New York’s guidance killed thousands in nursing homes. In fact, the report finds no causality whatsoever. Not one death. All hype. Why? Because it never happened."
10. Cutaway of Rep. James Comer during the hearing
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. James Comer, (R) Kentucky, House Oversight Committee. Chairman:
"What’s clear is the governor was desperate to change the narrative, to dispel the notion that his administration failed nursing home residents, that he failed to ask any questions. And, Governor, I believe you failed to follow the facts."
12. Cutaway of Rep. Jamie Raskin during the hearing
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Jamie Raskin, (D) Maryland:
"The broader and authentic context for this hearing is, of course, the spectacular failure of Donald Trump’s reckless and incompetent pandemic response, a failure which led to the unnecessary deaths of tens or hundreds of thousands of American citizens. According to Trump’s own officials."
14. Cuomo listens to questioning
15. Cutaway of Rep. Elise Stefanik during the hearing

"You can’t make up facts Congresswoman."
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Elise Stefanik, (R) New York:
"You’re the one making up facts. You’re the one who undercounted nursing home deaths. You’re the one who I want to ask right now. ( Crosstalk) Do you apologize today? But there are families sitting here. I want you to turn around, look them in the eye, and apologize which you have failed to do. Will you do it?"
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Andrew Cuomo, Former New York Governor:
"Congresswoman, this is not about political theater. This is about giving answers."
19. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Elise Stefanik, (R) New York:
"No, this is about accountability."
20. SOUNDBITE (English) Andrew Cuomo, Former New York Governor:
"Why did 1.2 million Americans die? Why did more Americans die than any place on the globe?"
