The FBI is investigating bombshell allegations of a scheme by top Long Island and New York officials to shut down Nassau University Medical Center, the public hospital’s chairman told The Post on Monday. NUMC chief Matthew Bruderman revealed he is “cooperating” with the agency, as well as the Department of Justice, in a probe of his claims that the hospital was robbed of more than $1 billion over decades to ensure its failure. Bruderman said he believes the officials’ ultimate goal was to financially strangle the public hospital, paving the way for state and local leaders to shut it down, take over the land currently owned by the public-benefit corporation that runs it and have it redeveloped for profit.
