NEW YORK — Within hours of accusations of domestic violence surfacing against New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, he has become former Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Schneiderman released a statement following a report on allegations of assault by multiple women in 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. In the last several hours, serious allegations, which I strongly contest, have been made against me,” Schneiderman said in a statement. “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.”
