1. The New York attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, has resigned, hours after being accused of physically assaulting four women he was involved with.

Two of the women told The New Yorker magazine on the record that Mr. Schneiderman had choked them and hit them repeatedly. He’s pictured above in his office last year.

Throughout Mr. Schneiderman’s long public career, he has cast himself as a staunch defender of women’s rights, but he is better known these days as a legal antagonist of President Trump.
