Attorney general resigns after 4 women accuse him of abuse

Farrow on Schneiderman This was not role-play

Farrow on Schneiderman This was not role-play

Andrew Cuomo appointed a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of assault and abuse made against former state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

After Schneiderman's resignation, New York Solicitor General Barbara D. Underwood was appointed as Acting Attorney General, pending a search for a permanent replacement.

Schneiderman has maintained that he never assaulted anyone and that he "engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity" only, but resigned three hours after the New Yorker article was published. Vance sent a late night letter to the governor, stating, "While I have absolute confidence that DA Singas can conduct a thorough and effective review (and putting aside the legality of the way you have framed this directive), I strongly object to this move, for a number of important reasons".

Two of those four women agreed to go on the record and speak on the allegations against Schneiderman. Last month, he and more than a dozen states sued the E.P.A. for failing to properly control methane pollution, a greenhouse gas. I could not remain silent and encourage other women to be courageous for me.

These Pa. public high schools are among the best in the nation
What other schools made the cut? Nationally, only Boston Latin School earned its way into the top 100 on the U.S. News and World Report is out with its latest rankings, and Boston Latin School once again tops the list.

Manning Barish said she was involved with Schneiderman from mid-2013 through the end of 2014.

The idea that the Trump White House takes abuse allegations seriously is also belied by how administration officials handled accusations against Roy Moore and Rob Porter. The fearless women who chose to come forward deserve swift and definitive justice in this matter. The company later fired Weinstein. But now that the 63-year-old Democrat has been accused of choking, slapping, threatening and otherwise abusing four women during intimate encounters, Bee and her team are attempting to backtrack their love for the pervy pol. Despite the existence of an audio recording in which Weinstein admits he groped the woman without her permission, and despite the NYPD's apparent belief that the movie producer should be charged, Vance's office declined to prosecute. Under the New York Constitution, a vacancy in the office is filled by the state Legislature.

In October 2017, Schneiderman spoke out forcefully against President Trump and used his office to launch numerous legal challenges.

"You were saying???" Donald Trump Jr. tweeted. He showcased one of Schneiderman's tweets from previous year saying that he would remind President Trump that no one was above the law, with Trump Jr. adding, "You were saying??"
