Source: Law & Crime
Sexual assault survivors in New York City are demanding the immediate resignation of Manhattan District Cyrus Vance Jr. over his long and documented history of leniency toward elite and wealthy sex criminals.
According to Politicos local desk, several such survivors made their case for Vances swift departure at City Hall on Thursday, highlighting a recent sweetheart deal gifted to Columbia University gynecologist Dr. Robert Hadden.
The disgraced OB/GYN is accused of sexually assaulting no less than 19 of his former patientsincluding Evelyn Yang, wife of 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
Most women dont know what youre supposed to get when youre pregnant, Yang recently said in an interviewadding that she was initially unsure about what happened and that she only decided to open up about Hadden after other survivors came forward.

In one e-mail, according to four people who have seen it, the Trumps discussed how to coördinate false information they had given to prospective buyers. In another, according to a person who read the e-mails, they worried that a reporter might be on to them. In yet another, Donald, Jr., spoke reassuringly to a broker who was concerned about the false statements, saying that nobody would ever find out, because only people on the e-mail chain or in the Trump Organization knew about the deception, according to a person who saw the e-mail. There was no doubt that the Trump children approved, knew of, agreed to, and intentionally inflated the numbers to make more sales, one person who saw the e-mails told us. They knew it was wrong.

But, in 2012, Kasowitz donated twenty-five thousand dollars to the re-election campaign of the Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, Jr., making Kasowitz one of Vances largest donors. Kasowitz decided to bypass the lower-level prosecutors and went directly to Vance to ask that the investigation be dropped.
