New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate accusations that resigned New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman physically assaulted at least four women. Two of the women, Michelle Manning Barish and Tanya Selvaratnam, told The New Yorker magazine that Schneiderman repeatedly hit them, slapping them across the face and choking them to the point they each sought medical attention. They both also accuse Schneiderman of threatening to kill them if they broke up with him. New York Solicitor General Barbara Underwood will now serve as New York’s acting attorney general. Meanwhile, five more executives have stepped down at Nike, where a sweeping investigation into workplace harassment and misconduct toward women employees is underway. A total of 11 senior managers have left Nike so far.
