even still schneiderman cuts an unusually high profile. that's in part because the attorney general in new york state just tends to be a high-profile thing. the immediate previous owners of this job before him are andrew cuomo, who's now governor of new york, and elliot spitzer, who is a lot of things. also a former governor of new york. in addition to that just being a high-profile job, eric schneiderman is also unusually high-profile even for a new york attorney general right now. because of the perception or at least the theory that his office might essentially function as kind of a backup to robert mueller's special counsel's office at some point. if president trump decides to fire his way through the justice department to end the mueller probe or if he decides to issue presidential pardons to people who have thus far been caught up in the russia investigation. the theory's been that even if trump issued pardons to people like, say, paul manafort or hypothetically michael cohen or national security adviser mike flynn, attorney general

was connected with another former girlfriend of schneiderman who described similar abuse.man did not go on the record with the new yorker. she said this in part -- s in part -- and that was on twitter -- fwby manning barish. >> no matter what people thought about eric schneiderman or his record on women's issues once the allegations were published there was no defense. >> these women should have their day in court. no withone is above the law. no one should be afraid to come forward. >> do you think criminal charges are a possibility. >> i think certainly it's very possible. we know investigations have been opened up at least at the manhattan da office. with the me too movement i think we will see an up tick in the prosecution of these cases. >> tonight in a battle he publicly fought before schneiderman finds himself on the wrong side. >> eric schneiderman would be outraged by the allegations he's now accused of. he would have had no patience for this. >> i hope the bravery of the women who spoke out about schneiderman prompts a conversation in the united states and beyond

going after schneiderman's looks.ething -- a different conversation going after schneiderman's looks instead of just sticking with the appalling subject. >> sure. once upon a time before trump, hypocrisy was the unforgivable sin in politics. we are through the looking glass with the president on many issue. but by people really immediately calling for the attorney general of new york's resignation, it was an affirmation that these standards do matter and it was democrats. it should be noted the new yorker going after him as well not known for a conservative magazine. some things are beyond politics and should be beyond politics. this is also an abuse of power and arrogance of power story. him apparently calling him the chief law enforcement officer and saying you can't hit an officer of the law. that's one of the things that makes it so disturbing. i think the response has got to be better than petty partisan politics, too. >> that's the interesting political play. arguably eric schneiderman was the chief law enforcem

i was watching your schneiderman coverage. you love how they turn the schneiderman story, which is blockbuster into just another cultural to use against trump? that's a cute little trick, right? >> sean: by the way, there is some other breaking news. we'll get into this tomorrow. the funny thing is he predicted it in 2013. that's a little scary. and he predicted bin laden. he's got a great track record. >> laura: china predictions, bin laden. do know what he has in the belmont coming up it in a few weeks? i want his numbers. >> sean: belmont is the third leg. >> laura: go talk to your book you. you know it better than i do. that was a great show tonight. >> sean: you are my bookie, stop lying. >> laura: i've got all the numbers covered. >> sean: send them to laura ingraham. >> laura: good evening from washington, i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle." an historic day and two huge exclusive interviews for you. with that the inside story on trump pulling the plug on the iranian nukes deal. in my exclusive interview wi

two called on schneiderman to step down. he said in a statement serious allegations which i contest have been made against me. he said while the allegations are unrelated to my professional conductor the operations of the office, it will prevent me from leading the work at this time. >> schneiderman had been a rising star in democratic politics and advocate for the me too movement. he brought legal action against harvey weinstein and the trump administration. one woman who came to schneiderman's defense is his ex-wife. jennifer cunningham. she said the allegations are completely inconsistent with the man i know. a smokpokesperson says the investigation has been opened into schneiderman. >>> also, donald trump widely expected to pull out of the iran nuclear deal today and announcement an scheduled for 2:00 p.m. eastern time. if he decides not to extend sanctions, the agreement would be scrapped. for more on the impact of the u.s. pullout, let's go live to london and bring in cnn's nic robertson. despite lobbying, many think t

schneiderman has given this statement to the "new yorker." of intimate relationships, i have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. i have not assaulted anyone. i have never engaged in nonconsensual sex, which is a line i would not cross. so that's the denial from the new york state ag. on the other side, these women apparently told friends about the alleged abuse while it was still going on, and those potential corroborator white nationalists a-- witnesses are vouching for these women now. they include high-profile figures. one of the women describes speaking out now as torturous. she says, i know it's going to be my word against his. she continues, what do you do if your abuser is the top law enforcement official in the state. not long after "the new yorker" accomplished the story tonight, new york's governor, andrew cuomo, called for attorney general eric schneiderman's resignation, saying my personal opinion is that given the damning pattern of facts and corroboration laid out in the article i do not believe it is p

four different women accused eric schneiderman of hitting, eric schneiderman of hitting, slapping andhoking them. two said they later sought medical treatment for what he did. some allege that he made death threats.s. once that he threatened to have her followed or her phone tapped. one former girlfriend, who is sri lankan told reporters thatlo schneiderman "started calling me his brown slave and demanding that i repeat that i was his property. schneiderman's many friends on the left didn't stick around long once the new yorker piece f came out last night. after pausing to make certain that his career was really dead, former allies have come out to denounce him and say how horrified and shocked they are by the allegations. they can't believe it. please. as with harvey weinstein, a lot of people knew schneiderman was not at all what he pretended to be.. there were plenty of signs of that, some public and some people said so out loud, including donald trump in a famous tweet five years ago.ub but the left stuck with eric schneiderman anyway until the last possible moment as they always

they couldn't get enough of eric schneiderman.ust six months ago samantha b, who has a tv show, compared schneiderman to a superhero. watch this. >> it's a bird, it's a plane. it's... >> i'm eric schneiderman and i'm the attorney general of the state of new york. >> are you going to leave us out of the darkness? >> student loans, the second travel in, and birth control access. >> we will save all of us together. >> you are going to save us? >> we are going to do it but that involves more than the attorney general getting involved. >> tucker: tonight her hero is disgraced and unemployed. reported by ronan farrell released last night suggested in private he was exactly the kind of predator he claimed to be hunting. four different women accused eric schneiderman of hitting, slapping and choking them. two said they later sought medical treatment for what he did. some allege that he made death threats. once that he threatened to have her followed or her phone tapped. one former girlfriend, who is sri lankan told reporters that schneide

again, the left-wing superhero eric schneiderman. the real reason the left loves schneiderman is they thought his neck he would take donald trump. eric schneiderman is gone buto the new york legal resistance to trump will go on. they think this new acting attorney general barbara underwood would be a breakthrough attorney general if she received the permanent nomination from i guess the governor appoints her.d she has argued 20 cases before the supreme court. she clerked for thurgoodsh marshall.d a she's a reliably liberal. these cases against the president will go on. some people think on legal blogs that i was reading, all of it should be considered fruit of the poisonous tree in a wayf because of this tainted figure who was running these investigations and running these prosecutions. but the cases against trump and i think treating trump as thest big nemesis and maybe you can take some of the mueller investigation under new york jurisdiction so he couldn't fire anybody. the left is still going crazy u about all of that tonight. >>

one woman says schneiderman called her a whore. the allegations made by four women in total and paint two very different pictures of man who until now has been regarded as a champion for women in the #metoo movement. >>> new york's attorney general eric schneiderman, abruptly resigning three hours after the new yorker published an article detailing abuse allegations from four different women. two of the women who are romantically involved with schneiderman speaking to the magazine on the record saying the attorney general would, quote, repeatedly hit them, often after drinking, frequently in bed with neither with their consent. they say they sought medical attention after being slapped and choked the article stated. the women also accusing schneiderman of verbal and emotional abuse. tonya who dated schneiderman from the summer of 2016 until last fall telling the new yorker that the former attorney general, quote, started calling me his brown slave and demanding that i repeat that i was his property. schneiderman denying the accusat

several women now say schneiderman assaulted them. the latest next.ts to start my business. but as it grew bigger and bigger, it took a whole lot more. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. everything. and that 2% cash back adds up to thousands of dollars each year... so i can keep growing my business in big leaps! what's in your wallet? i've been making blades here at gillette for 20 years. i bet i'm the first blade maker you've ever met. there's a lot of innovation that goes into making our thinnest longest lasting blades on the market. precision machinery and high-quality materials from around the world. nobody else even comes close. it's about delivering a more comfortable shave every time. invented in boston, made and sold around the world. now starting at $7.99. gillette. the best a man can get. pepsoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keep

elliott spitzer and now eric schneiderman. there's something weird about the elliott spitzer history and what we know his conduct was secretly when he was new york state attorney general, and eric schneiderman what we're learning about him tonight, to make me wonder, is there something about prosecutors reaching this seemingly all-powerful level of new york state attorney general that tips them over the edge that they cannot evaluate their risk factor? >> i don't think that's the case. i think new york has produced some extraordinarily fine chief prosecutors, particularly on the federal side of the house. schneiderman's office did phenomenal things during his tenure, that doesn't forgive his conduct, he was challenging the inclusion of an immigration status on the census. i would say this personal criminality is balanced out by people who are high achievers. these two folks i think are i had owe sin cat you can. the assembly will replace him with a strong replacement and we won't have problems moving forward. >> we're going to

schneiderman's assault on these two women."o this lawyer is saying to the court if you find anything in michael cohen's correspondence about these two women please seal it and make sure it does not get out. and i have so many questions. for starters, why would this lawyer tell donald trump of all people about these alleged sexual assaults? well, just as a possibility schneiderman was going after trump university at the time. so was trump collecting dirt on schneiderman? and if so why was this lawyer giving it to him and why is he admitting to it now? why did this lawyer write this letter at all? does he really fear that someone's going to leak cohen materials about these women's allegations from years ago? is there some other end game here? honestly, what is going on here? joining us now is emily jane fox, senior reporter at "vanity fair," and paul butler, former federal prosecutor and professor at georgetown school of law. okay, emily and paul, if that was not complicated enough, i have to start with you on this, emily, becaus

one of his chief critics, new york attorney general eric schneiderman, yes, this eric schneiderman. >ing as despicable as what we have seen here. a pervasive pattern at the weinstein company. >> schneiderman now is facing this. >> i just want to relate the message of one of these women and it was a shared sentiment among this group, that this was not role playing. that this was not 50 shades of gray. it wasn't in a gray area at all. this was activity that happened in many cases fully clothed, outside of a sexual context, during arguments. >> if you blinked yesterday, you could have missed it. within three hours of that story by ronan farrow publishing, schneiderman resigned, putting out this statement about the allegations against him. the allegations are unrelated to my professional conduct they will effectively prevent me from leading the office's work at this critical time. i therefore resign my office. joining me with more details, brynn gingras. how did this all go down so quickly? >> a tremendous fall from grace from a rising politician and a man who really was a champion for wo

but let's stay on schneiderman. -- the accusation is he tried to silence hesitate accusers warning them they need to stay quiet for the good of the democrat party. and six months ago activist praised schneiderman saying he would lead us out of the darkness. that's kind of awkward now. >> well, it's extremely awkward but apparently has had eyes with moments with this particular politician. and i understand there are more women's women that are likely going to come forward how the focus somehow isn't solely on these women and their allegations and accusations to the point where one woman had to write up her account and put it in a safety-deposit box for her friends in case anything ever happened to her. liz: important point. katrina, thank you for coming on. we love having you go on. >> thanks, liz. liz: we'll be right back some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are str

three hours after their claims were published, schneiderman resigned, saying in a statement

author tanya selvaratnam says she dated schneiderman in 2016.n in sri lanka, she said schneiderman called her his "brown slave," and would sometimes tell her to call him master. slnan farrow co-authored the "new yorker" article with jane mayer: >> these are women who had nothing to gain by coming forward, and everything to lose. and many of them hesitated for quite some time. their friends and loved ones anld them don't do this, either docause they feared that there thuld be that retaliation, or because they just felt his work for the democratic party was too good and too important to jeopardize. >> reporter: schneiderman has denied the abuse allegations, saying in a statement, "in the heivacy of intimate relationships, i have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity." recently, he rose to national prominence after launching an investigation into harvey weinstein. >> if any of these allegations against eric schneiderman are true, the hypocrisy is beyond belief. >> reporter: the manhattan district attorney's office has opened

the schneiderman withdraw last night is a wig deal. yes, they'll have another attorney general, yes, someone else will come along. but a lot of time is lost and a lot of focus. i will guarantee donald trump had a sigh of relief this morning. in any was, those fortunate three prongs. the campaign one is not real, the russia one is getting old, and now the new york one appears for the time being to have been -- to have been blunted. and now two big things. the iran nuclear deal and north korea. i think what rudy giuliani is doing, maybe not even by design, maybe just fumbling along, they're creating an environment to fire mueller in the middle of the iran and the north korea announcements with all of this offense going on at the moment. >> anthony, you cannot possibly say they will find absolutely nothing with russia. you just don't have enough faks facts, neither do we. >> relate to the president they're not going to find anything. >> you don't know that will for sure. >> uihlein variety me back after that comes to pass. but on the -- >

but the schneiderman charges are, you know, horrendous.think any democrat who is thinking that, snap out of it! this is violence. this is domestic violence. this is abuse. no one deserves to be supported by anyone. nonetheless leading democrats if that's what you're doing. as a party, we have depth and breadth and we're not so pa thet make we ha thetic that we have to stand by. >> i think this is not the terrain they want to be fighting on. i'll just leave it at that. not much more -- we shouldn't overanalyze this either. i think a lot of what christine says speaks from the heart. this is a time for those with this platform to do exactly that. the same side of it, this is not a time to be trying to play those type of politics. >> thank you for being with us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> gina haspel, the president's pick to head the cia is on capitol hill this morning, looking to win over some undecided members of congress before her confirmation hearing tomorrow. how will she hold up to the toughest questioning about torture tactics? w

is eric schneiderman going to face charges?to face jail time for what these women say he did to them? >> alisyn, i absolutely hope he does. i want to pushback a little on this notion that there was no recourse. we know that when women are abused and intimidated they feel as if there's to recourse, if there's anything we can learn from what has been happening in this movement and from the bill cosby verdict is that no one is above the law and even rich and powerful men -- >> but who could these women have gone to? i agree with you. he was the top law enforcement official in the state. >> but, remember, he's one person in a huge office of law enforcement career prosecutors and there are people that are in that office. his office and the manhattan district office that would have happily, i believe, taken the complaints of these women. i'm not trying to in any way suggest that the women did anything wrong because it takes a lot of courage to tell these stories and there is fear about going forward to law enforcement, but we have to

michelle manning bar-ish says one night schneiderman called her a whore, and then all of a sudden he just slapped me, open handed with great force, across the face. landing the blow directly on to my ear. tanya says we could rarely have sex without him beating me. she claims he started calling me his brown slave. three hours after their claims were published, schneiderman resigned, saying in a statement he strongly contests the allegations and they're unrelated to his professional conduct. stating earlier, i have not assaulted anyone. his downfall, all the more mind-boggling, because schneiderman a democrat, publicly was a champion of women, suing harvey weinstein for sexually harassing employees. >> we've never seen anything as despicable as what we've seen here. >> reporter: and investigating the manhattan district attorney's decision not to prosecute weinstein for allegedly groping a model. now, the same d.a. will investigate schneiderman. >> i want to say to anyone who was victimized by the attorney general and has not yet come forward, please do come forward to the nypd. >> repo

schneiderman's excuse is this is rough sex and i never crossed the line to assault. that doesn't seem to be what the accusers are saying. schneiderman's finished. he just doesn't know it yet. >> look at the cover, the headline on drudge. i have so much ground to ever co. let me go to contempt issue that we spoke to devin nunes about. david, get your take on that. >> this is government working for devin nunes to go forward with this. we wish a constitutional crisis but not the constitutional cry six that senator schumer and others talked about. when we have a rogue special prosecutor run amok and a justice department not responding to legitimate concerns from the article i body of congress we risk a constitutional crisis. there must be cooperation. i'm sorry if it has to come to contempt. i think we maybe need to look to changing people in positions. >> sean: either they do their job now -- this has gone on for well over a year. this is when jason chaffetz will join us later. he was asking for this information. sara, i read all 50 paces of what happened in the manafor

, including being slapped in the face, choked and spit on by schneiderman, sometimes while in bed. two of the women spoke on the record saying they eventually sought medical attention for their injuries, and they also detail claims of schneiderman's heavy drinking and use of prescription drugs. schneiderman denies the allegations, telling "the new yorker" in the privacy of intimate relationships, i have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. i have not assaulted anyone. i've never engaged in nonconsensual sex. >> schneiderman's ex-wife also coming to his defense saying he has always been someone of the highest character, outstanding values and a loving father. i find it impossible to believe these allegations are true. still, calls for schneiderman's resignation came quickly including from peter king, governor andrew cuomo and the national organization for women. just three hours after the allegations first surfaced, schneiderman announced he will step down effective at the end of business today. he again contested the claims, saying while the allegations are

after the story broke, schneiderman issued the following statement. >> schneiderman resigned and stepped down saying the allegations would be too much of a distraction for him to continue. after quickly losing the support of democratic leaders including governor andrew cuomo who spoke out this morning. listen. >> change comes when people demand change and change comes when the problem is revealed and exposed. that is always step one. >> if true, the ironic twist become his role as an outspoken figure in the me too movement against sexual harassment which angered two of his accusers. in 2016, his office published a know your rights brochure for victims of domestic violence. in 2010 when he was a state senator for manhattan, he introduced a bill to make intentional strangulation a violent felony. barbara underwood will take over for now and an interim replacement will be chosen by the state legislature with voters deciding on a new attorney general in november. it goes on. >> thanks. >> jon: for more, let's bring in jock mccormack, writer for the weekly standards. what a 24 hours. the alle

eric schneiderman maintains his innocence despite his resignation.e describes the accusations of violence as consensual role-playing sexual activity. his former girlfriends tell a different story.n is denying allegations from four women who claim the new york attorney general repeatedly hit and choked them, usually after he consumed large amounts of alcohol. two of the women who were romantically involved with schneiderman have publicly identified themselves and say he threatened to kill them if they left him. neither filed any police complaints but say they sought out medical attention. the accusations published by "the new yorker" were followed by calls for schneiderman to resign, and three hours later, he did, issuing this statement -- "in the last several hours, serious allegations, which i strongly contest, have been made against me. while the 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." [ applause ] during his nearly

you covered schneiderman for years. so when you look at what you read and what seemed to be velveted in this new yorker article, and then you look at the prern that you have covered, how do you square his public and private behavior? >> well, it's shocking, of course, to anybody who knew anything about eric schneiderman. he was in public life for a good decade before becoming attorney general and then served two terms and was running for a third. this is somebody who was considered a well-known quantity. and while there would be rumors around this and rumors around that, many of which i had never heard, we are now sort of discovering that this wasn't a complete mystery to everyone -- other than the fact that he liked a glass of wine, seemed to hit the bar here and there, it was not considered out of the norm -- his behavior was not considered out of the norm at all. so this is a really big shock to new york's political community. >> so what happens now to the cases that he is working on. >> well the cases themselves wil

four women accuse eric schneiderman of beating, humiliating and threatening them, breaking news tonight. the first lady unveils her be best initiative and the media attacks continue. it is turning out to be a defining week for the trump doctrine. major moves from iran to north korea and a big push on capitol hill for his nominee to run the cia. team coverage tonight. covering the shadow diplomacy by obama officials as they tried to save their signature diplomatic achievement, the iran nuclear deal. kristen fisher and the pres.'s pick to lead the cia, declassify more of gina haskel's career record. we begin with it henry with more on what is driving the pres. to make an announcement on iran ahead of schedule. >> the reason he's leaning toward pulling out of the deal is pretty simple. he called a disaster negotiated by barack obama, vowed to rip it up. the real question seems to be whether the president offers any gesture to european allies, giving them a window to renegotiate a tougher deal or at least the french and germans and others have the ability to do business in iran without new

schneiderman. in the explosive article published by "the new yorker" last night two women, michelle manning, and others say they had to receive medical attention after they allege schneiderman slapped, choked and abused them while in a romantic relationship. neither of them filed police complaints. we checked in with the police on that but confided in friends on what they call assault and say they were too frightened to come forward because of schneiderman's position. he lost the support of cuomo and he said the allegations would be too much of a distraction for him to continue. he has been an outspoken figure in the me too movement against sexual harassment and raised his profile by taking on president trump pushing to change state law so he could prosecute the president's aides and filing lawsuits aimed at the trump organization in new york. schneiderman in a tweet said no one is above the law and donald trump junior saying you were saying? it makes the status of the effort far less certain. >> b

schneiderman has been a vocal critic of donald trump for years, dating back to schneiderman's lawsuitsversity. joining us from washington, staff writer for the "new yorker" and the lead story in the story that brought down new york's attorney general jane mayer. it's great to have you back on the show. give us a sense of your reporting on this and it's -- at this point allegations but he has decided to step down. you've spoken to how many women total? >> we spoke with four women who are described in the story, two of them are on the record and you know the word they use to describe their experience with former attorney general schneiderman is that he assaulted them and two of them are on the record saying so. i mean, these are serious charges and his statement, i think you can see in it, because he's still not really understanding his affect and how he was seen and felt by these women and that took an awful lot for them to come forward but they felt they really had to. they were -- several of them came forward bauds they said they couldn't stand the idea that another woman was going to

four women have come forward alleging physical abuse. >> eric schneiderman steps down. >> schneiderman been a rising star in democratic politics and a vocal advocate for the me too movement. >> the president is widely expected to pull out of the iran nuclear deal today. >> president trump calling it redig lugs and insane. >> the danger is far from over in hawaii. >> as many as 12 fissures have exploded. >> voters today decide the west virginia republican senate primary. >> the president urged republicans not to vote for don blankenship. >> the president is as misinformed as the public is. >> fashion's biggest night. >> divine designs floated up the red carpet at the religion themed met gala. >> all that. >> keeping busy by firing off a mini gun. apparently he's going to use this in a movie. >> watch this. ? and all that matters. >> a new initiative called be best, focusing on the well being of children. >> let's encourage children to dream big, think big. >> on "cbs this morning." >> this is a video i defy you not to enjoy. let it begin. >> yes. tasha. l are you, tasha? tasha. tasha. >

but based on the new allegations, schneiderman's credibility itself is in doubt.ther thing that is coming up here, the same people the trump defenders claim are random former advisers, people like stone and credico who trump defenders dismiss who say look, they go rogue or they're just seeking attention, they now appear involved in this very high priority clash with the top prosecutor in new york who was suing trump, and they were hitting the exact message that trump wanted at the same time while he called in tv to push it. so was that a coincidental synchronization or something more formal, more collusiony? we're not just exploring a theory here. this is also based on reporting. i have a response from credico that stone e-mailed him at the time urging him to continue the attacks on schneiderman. credico said he resisted going further and he wanted his original accusation to be off the record. randy chris darden dickeau told me he snorted cocaine with eric schneiderman in the back room of a manhattan comedy club. i urged him to go public with this during the elect

amy: new york attorney general eric schneiderman has resigned. president trump is slated to announce at 2:00 p.m. today whether he will withdraw the united states from the landmark 2015 iran nuclear agreement. president trump has repeatedly threatenened to withdraw frorome deal, despite pressure from european leadersrs, iran, the international community, and even his own defense secretary james mattis. today's announcement comes amid more revelations about how the israeli private intelligence agency known as black cube to orchestrate a dirty ops campaign against members of the obama administration who negotiated the iran nuclear d deal. the guardian reports trump's , but theed black cube new york times as it is not clear who hired the israeli intelligence firm. among those black cube was hired to investigate and discredit were obama's top national security aide benjamin rhodes, and vice president joe biden's national security adviser colin kahl. black cube is s made up of formr officials from the mossad and other israeli agencies. it is the same

spitzer and schneiderman, i would think twice about running for that office.urse they won't because i'm not a lawyer. to the point about the democrats coming forward and trying to silence the victims, this happens on both parties. you can make a choice between your ideals and victims or choosing the powerful and the money, and a lot of the times in the past month gopal have sided with the powerful and the money. people aren't doing that anymore and i think that's pretty refreshing. >> dana: greg, i will give you the last word. >> greg: i used to use the phrase. as long as your heart is in the right place liberally, your hands could be anywhere else. the most disturbing part, apart from the threats and violence, is the so-called friends that tell these women not to say anything. because you don't want to hurt the party. >> dana: might run for congress. >> greg: is a promising guy. you have to understand this is a political hit job. well-connected, prominent democrat women, feminists. this isn't a team sport thing. this is hard. you think of it like it's got to

we are now at a place where schneiderman is being investigated.e women are alleging is criminal in nature. you know, it's assault. they have been very painstaking in laying out that this is not, as eric schneiderman has claimed in his statements, role—play, that was consensual in any way. that this was in their few clear—cut assault, and that it took place in many cases, fully clothed, outside the bedroom. one of these women wasn't even in a relationship with him at all. where are we with weinstein now? do you think all these months on he would be facing charges, prosecution? i will say i am in touch with law enforcement sources who are working very hard in multiplejurisdictions to ensure that the ball is not dropped, as it has been in the past, with respect to the weinstein case. i think that inquiries that are ongoing are correct, and i imagine we will see a motion on that in months to come. of course, you know, perhaps one of the ironies of the news of the last 2a hours is that eric schneiderman was one of the law—enforcement officials investig

eric schneiderman probably doesn't think he is either.an't commit sin if your intentions are pure and liberals think their intentions are the purest. if that sounds like theology and not public policy, it's because it is theology. modern liberalism is a replacement for the protestant christianity the left worked so hard to undermine and destroy. they are speaking the linkage of faith, albeit a faith without god. this is the main reason the right and left talk past each other, the reason our public debates are so weird and unsatisfying. one side arrives with stats and facts and arguments and the other grabs about its decency. one is trying to convince, the other side is trying to convert. you can be the liberal in an argument, but you can ever convince them then you won. he cares much more deeply than you and therefore knows he's right. nothing can convince them otherwise. somewhere tonight eric schneiderman is marinating in his shame, probably unshaven and alone. his career is over, he faces years of potential legal action. he is a broken

schneiderman deny any wrongdoing. errol lewis that a new op ed.ng. >> you have been reporting on new york politics for decades. were there ever any even wheu per about this violent side. >> apparently there were. i did not hear any of though wheu percent. i talked to those who were part of the albany scene. there were stories over the years. nothing nearly ashoking a what was reported. but he was known to go outside the lineses in some of his personal relationship, according to some women. >> now what that been alleged is so appalling. it feel like this is just the beginning. it feel like there is a lot more to uncover. governor cuomo is asking for a special prosecutor so the manhattan district attorney doesn't have to, what, investigate his old bo? >> not his old bo so much. they already had a conflict that was going on. when the harvey weinstein scandal broke, there were allegation that the manhattan district attorney was not nearly a tough on earlier sort of allegation about harvey weinstein as it should have been. and schneiderman was directed

schneiderman contests the allegations.tement that said, in the privacy of intimate relationships i have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. i have never asulted anyone and i have not engaged in nonconsensual sex. but selvaratnam said this was abusive, demeaning, threatening behavior. schneiderman's resignation is effective at the end of business today. >>> we have breaking news from overseas. kim jong-un has traveled to china on a previously unannounced visit. state media says kim met with the chinese president on monday. this was a follow-up to the first surprise trip in march. and it comes ahead of an anticipated summit meeting with president trump. china is korea's only major ally. >>> anxiety is building in hawaii where residents fear another powerful eruption of the mt. kilauea volcano is going to happen. miguel almaguer is in hilo with new images of the destruction that people are dealing with. >> reporter: good morning. two, new massive cracks overnight, the so-called fissures. but the good

schneiderman saidimself about the actual allegations? he resigned pretty quickly.nada: it was lightni fast, less than three hours after the article was published. he basically said he engaged in role-playing in coensual intimate relationships. he said it was, again, a bit of role-playing. but when you speak to the women, they clearly laid out in "the new yorker" magazine that this was in some cases outside of their intimate encounters, that this was absolutely notyi role-p, it was not consensual. oley said at times that he slapped them very tly across the face, choke, demeaned them. onwoman is from sri lankan descent and says he called hee his brown sld would repeatedly slap her until she called him his master. some really horrific allegations in "the new yorker" magazine. laura: he filenumerous legal challenges against the trump administration -- he i seen as part of the legal resistance. what happens to that now? nada: we have a woman king m --mantle ofl of the new york attorney generalne role, anyork is a progressive city, and he was seen as a leader among other

schneiderman has been a vocal champion against sexual abuse.lapped, choked and even spat on them. top state democrats as well as republicans called for him to resign. three hours after the article was published, he resigned. >>> first lady melania trump has announced her formal agenda, aimed at the well-being of children. >>> the campaign called be best will tackle the growing opioid epidemic as well as cyber bullying. she called on children to speak verbally and online respectfully. she has ignored criticism over her choice to combat social media abuse while the president continues to use his twitter but he actually sat right there in the front row as she unveiled that plan. and in a rare, public display of affection, the president embraced his wife and gave her multiple kisses following the rose garden announcement. earlier, the press secretary sarah sanders dismissed a rumor that the first lady doesn't live in the white house but instead lives with her parents in the suburbs. >> that is an outrageous and ridiculous claim. the first lady live

applause ) meanwhile-- schneiderman. schneiderman! meanwhile, yesterday? yesterday. melania trump unveiled her public agenda as first lady. her private agenda is to stop being first lady. the slogan for her campaign is "be best," which sounds like the thing a pageant mom yells at her crying five-year-old daughter from the wings. "be best, baby! or you are walking home! okay. maybe lose some of that baby fat. momma only loves winners! that's why daddy's gone. smile, eyes and teeth. eyes and teeth! based on a true story. as part of her announcement, melania's team released a booklet for parents and kids about how to stay safe online. it turns out, melania's booklet matches almost entirely word for word the f.t.c.'s 2014 pamphlet. is there any idea melania won't steal? she already copied two other women by marrying donald trump. >> jon: whoa! whoa! ( laughter ). >> stephen: do you think they liked that? i couldn't tell. i'm not sure. >> jon: wow! >> stephen: i'm not sure. you're welcome. we looked at the booklets, and theth

that i know and i said what and then like a half an hour later eric schneiderman called and he says have you heard from roger stone lately and so you know rock and stone and something on him back then so maybe he's i don't know what happened here but he calls me up it was such a coincidence you know i want to get in and that's where we were at a time i want to get your other happier someone more exciting and interesting now apparently of the year you attended the white house correspondents' dinner and apparently from what i hear romney got your twitter pages but they are for the state are champions of free speech weren't that excited about your free speech no you know what i was there i was invited by yahoo news all because of the publicity you've given me a jimmy doors given me every melbourne all these others michael isikoff and those are the people that invited me is isikoff and yahoo news who got the book i should regret it was so ironic. assim my celebrity this russia gay thing and so i was invited i went and they had these huge parties there and i'm talking to everybody adam s

they hated schneiderman like a lot of supporters did.hneiderman was often going after the president like kellyanne, tweeting, gotcha. are you surprised by the response? >> not exactly. it gave them a moment to smile about this whole thing. the reality here is that eric schneiderman appears, if these allegations are accurate and they seem to be or else he wouldn't have resigned so quickly, he was a hypocrite. that was the biggest thing of all. he's been someone who has been on the leading edge really making a name for himself being a crusader against donald trump. that, of course, is why they responded so much. i think it's a good reminder as we head into the current election season where there is a me too movement. it does happen in both parties. fact in the story there, and ronan said this morning on "new day" that some people advised him not to come forward because it could down a democrat is offensive and absurd, really. it's a reminder that democrats do this as much as republicans ask it's dis gusting. >> it certainly is, guys. stick

schneiderman says his resignation will be effective at the end of the day today. manhattan prosecutor is opening an investigation into his alleged behavior. >> all unfolding so fast. thank you, linsey. >>> we'll bring in one of the "new yorker" writers who broke the story and, ronan, let me begin with you. this exploded so quickly after you posted the article. he's now gone. he is resigning as attorney general. have you heard from the accusers since this article was posted? >> i think that there's a complicated wave of emotions whenever a woman or man steps forward with this serious an allegation. they're going through all those emotions right now but several have reached out to say that they find it gratifying that these stories are being heard, because george, they hesitated for a long time, partly because of schneiderman's power and his influence within the democratic party. >> that's what i wanted to get into. schneiderman, very publicly, talking about harvey weinstein, talking about these allegations against other men, yet the women who are accusing him now h

for women accused the new york attorney general eric schneiderman of beating, humiliating and threatening them. we got breaking news on the story tonight. plus the first lady unveils her be best initiative in the media attacks continue. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. it is turning out to be a defining week for the trump doctrine. major moves from iran to north korea and a big push on capitol hill for his nominee to run the cia. gina haspel. got coverage tonight. covering the so-called shadow diplomacy by obama official as they try to save their signature diplomatic achievement, the iran nuke deal. picked to lead the cia as they seek to declassify more of her records. we begin with ed henry with more on what is driving the president to make an announcement on iran ahead of schedule. >> great to see you. the main reason president trump is leaning towards pulling out of the deal tomorrow is pretty simple. he called it a disaster negotiated by barack obama. vowed to rip it up if elected president. here we are now, at the real question seems to be of
