Cuomo later said he \"took responsibility\" and that \"we should have provided more information faster.\"

The subpoena for Cuomo's interview with the committee came after months of correspondence with his attorney in an effort to schedule a voluntary interview, which the committee alleges in the letter was an attempt by Cuomo to \"delay and undermine our investigation.\" The letter lays out dozens of emails and multiple meetings between Cuomo's attorney and subcommittee staff throughout December, January, and February, culminating in Cuomo's attorney saying he would be available in August.

\"You have repeatedly and consistently dismissed, deflected, or ignored all questions and requests from the Select Subcommittee related to your handling of nursing homes,\" the letter said. \"Your unwillingness to seriously cooperate with our requests and to negotiate a reasonable date to participate in a transcribed interview has unjustifiably delayed our investigation. This is unacceptable.\"

Azzopardi, the Cuomo spokesperson, disputed that characterization, saying that Cuomo's lawyer provided dates for an interview two weeks ago \"and even offered to have any questions answered in writing prior to it.\"

In a letter Cuomo's attorney Rita Galvin sent to the subcommittee Tuesday night, she said she had previously provided multiple dates for an August interview but never heard back until Tuesday. As such, she urged the subcommittee to \"reconsider issuing a subpoena.\"

\"To be clear, Governor Cuomo has been and remains cooperative,\" Glavin said in a letter to the committee, a copy of which was obtained by ABC News.

\"Governor Cuomo has been entirely cooperative, agreed to a transcribed interview and provided four dates for that interview two weeks ago -- which the subcommittee even agreed could be in New York,\" Glavin said in a statement to ABC News. \"There was no need for a subpoena, and they know it.\"

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic was formed in 2020.
