"Law: In Schneiderman's Wake, Battle Against Trump Continues"

"New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's abrupt resignation is unlikely to affect his state's legal war against the Trump administration's regulatory rollbacks.

The Democrat announced his resignation last night after four women who had been romantically involved with him alleged in a New Yorker story that he had physically abused them and become violent during their relationships. His retirement is effective at the end of today (Climatewire, May 8).

Legal experts and former state attorneys general say they expect the New York office to continue battling the Trump administration and maintain the climate investigation against Exxon Mobil Corp. that Schneiderman began in 2015."
