Update On Alleged Gang Rape At Cornell University

Intense public outcry over a woman’s account of being gang-raped at Cornell University has prompted New York’s governor to angrily yank control of the investigation away from the local prosecutor who didn’t initially see what happened as a crime. Now, the task of unraveling the case will fall to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was appointed as a special prosecutor this week. James is a Democrat best known for tangling with President Donald Trump. She suggested at a news conference Friday that her investigation wouldn’t be rushed. She described it as a monthslong process, with no predetermined outcome.
