The New Attorney General: A ‘Brilliant’ Lawyer With Deep Experience

FILE-- Eric Schneiderman, the attorney general of New York State, at his offices in New York, Dec. 15, 2017. The resignation of Schneiderman, a central figure in the liberal resistance to President Donald Trump, after allegations that he had physically abused multiple women set off an immediate storm of speculation in New York about his potential successor, and raised questions nationwide about the fate of his legal challenges to the Trump administration. Schneiderman has denied wrongdoing, describing the acts as part of consensual relationships. (Sasha Maslov/The New York Times)
