ATTORNEY GENERAL/LEGAL/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The man aspiring to be the new face of the resistance is a practicing Sikh who likes to call attention to his turban and happens to have jurisdiction over 20 of President Donald Trump’s properties, including Bedminster. New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal says he sees an opening in the continuing wake left by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s surprise resignation, and he’s ready to take it…In four months on the job, Grewal has joined or started 30 actions against the federal government, from debt collection to carbon emissions. He has embedded himself with the Democratic attorneys general who’ve banded together since last year to take on Trump, and which Schneiderman had been a national leader on. Last week, Grewal added another, writing to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos saying that if she wasn’t going to investigate fraud at for-profit colleges, he would. Then there’s the other aspect of what Schneiderman had been doing — talking with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team about de-conflicting investigations that the New York office could pursue. The overlap stemmed from how much of the president’s business and campaign had been based at Trump Tower, and the number of financial transactions that pass through New York.”
