NY Attorney general to take over alleged Cornell frat gang rape case

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announces  she appointed the office of

Attorney General Letitia James as the special prosecutor to oversee the

investigation into gang rape allegations at a Cornell University fraternity house,

saying she had lost faith in the local district attorney's ability to handle the case.

Students at the Ivy League school meanwhile, demand accountability from university leaders

at a student government forum Thursday, with some asking for stronger sexual assault prevention efforts 

and changes to Greek life, while others urge the campus community not to let

the allegations define the school.

With Attorney General James stepping in, she's expected to give

an update Friday on the status of the case together with Governor Hochul.

Meanwhile at a press conference in Washington, US President

Donald Trump says while he doesn't know what's going on at

the "fine school," he's sure the university will "do what's right."
