Four Men Join Effort to Remove NY Attorney General from Cornell Rape Investigation
Four men named in a former Cornell University student’s lawsuit have joined a co-defendant’s petition to remove New York Attorney General Letitia James from a reopened criminal investigation into gang rape allegations. The defendants argue that James’ pre-investigation social media posts expressing support for the accuser create a conflict of interest. This move follows the appointment of outside counsel to assist the AG’s office with evidence gathering and witness interviews.
