The Fox Nation special is called “The Collapse of Cuomo” and begins airing May 3. The network was reportedly able to purchase advertisements without CNN approving it because of “the limited geographic focus,” according to Mediaite.
Cuomo has repeatedly said he does not plan to resign amid growing bipartisan calls. The governor called the nursing home investigation “political” Monday and continues to argue that he is innocent.
“I did nothing wrong … period,” Cuomo said. “And I’m not resigning and I’m doing my job every day.”
