Michigan Prosecutor Says Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Could Face Criminal Charges<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\nThe Western Journal<\/p>\n

A county prosecutor in Michigan says charges against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer could be in the making related to the deaths of nursing home residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said that as of now, he has suspicions, but he needs evidence, according to WXYZ-TV<\/a>\u00a0in Detroit.<\/p>\n

Lucido is urging Michigan residents who lost family members<\/a> who were in nursing homes at the time of their death to make a wrongful death complaint with a local police agency because privacy laws otherwise block him from acting on specific cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we find there\u2019s been willful neglect of office, if we find there\u2019s been reckless endangerment of a person\u2019s life by bringing them in, then we would move forward with charges against the governor. Of course, we would. Nobody\u2019s above the law in this state,\u201d he told WXYZ.<\/p>\n

Lucido said he will meet with police in Macomb County to instruct them on how to process and verify the information and bring it to the prosecutor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

As a Republican state senator last year, Lucido sponsored a bill that would have banned putting COVID-19 patients into nursing homes. Whitmer vetoed the bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very disappointed and saddened that the governor vetoed this extremely important and commonsense legislation. Politics should not prevail over the health and safety of our seniors and health care workers,\u201d Lucido said in a statement<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

The statement said 35 percent of all Michigan deaths from COVID-19 at that point had come from nursing home residents.<\/p>\n

Lucido said questions need to be answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did my mom or why did my dad, brother, sister, or aunt die? Was it because of the policy by bringing in COVID-infected patients that spread to my mom that killed my mother?\u201d he told WXYZ.<\/p>\n
