Log in President Donald Trump said he felt “badly” for the students accused of gang-raping a young woman at Cornell University after New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Friday that she would be appointing Letitia James, the state attorney general, to take over the investigation. James successfully prosecuted Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records, a felony, in a case which ended months before Trump was re-elected in 2024.
