Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday called for investigations and possible criminal sanctions after the Department of Homeland Security admitted to making false statements in a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s move to ban New Yorkers from enrolling in federal programs intended to expedite international travel.

In comments to reporters, the third-term Democratic governor attacked the motives behind the policy and castigated federal officials, including Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf and his deputy Ken Cuccinelli, for using their offices to carry out acts of political exploitation.
