Quote Eric T. Schneiderman, the New York attorney general who rose to prominence as an antagonist of the Trump administration, abruptly resigned on Monday night, hours after four women accused him of physically assaulting them in an article published by The New Yorker. ?It?s been my great honor and privilege to serve as attorney general for the people of the State of New York,? Mr. Schneiderman said in a statement. ?In the last several hours, serious allegations, which I strongly contest, have been made against me. ?While these allegations are unrelated to my professional conduct or the operations of the office, they will effectively prevent me from leading the office?s work at this critical time. I therefore resign my office, effective at the close of business on May 8, 2018.? Trump on Eric Schneiderman in 2013 tweet: ?Wait and see, worse than Spitzer or Weiner? https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/may/7/donald-trump-eric-schneiderman-2013-tweet-wait-and/ Did President Trump know something? Almost five years ago, Mr. Trump tweeted that Eric Schneiderman, then the new New York attorney general, was ?worse than? two well-known Democratic sex criminals. |
