New York State Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman
(Is he named after Eric Holder?)
[From article]
The state ethics watchdog has launched a probe into whether state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman illegally solicited campaign contributions from Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and her husband while investigating The Donald’s for-profit school, The Post has learned.
The Joint Commission on Public Ethics issued subpoenas to Ivanka and other execs at the Trump Organization who also may have been hit up for cash.
JCOPE is trying to determine if Schneiderman violated the Public Officers Law by “barraging” them with fund-raising solicitations — while also suggesting he would back off his own fraud investigation into Florida-based Trump University.

Donald, Of Trumpster
In the ethics complaint, filed more than a year ago, Donald Trump claimed Schneiderman pushed Ivanka and her newspaper-publisher husband, Jared Kushner, to host a fund-raising breakfast for him at Jean-Georges, dine with him at Lure Fishbar in Soho, and have drinks with him at The Four Seasons.
“During many of these targeted solicitations, Mr. Schneiderman, on his own initiative, brought up his office’s inquiry into [Trump] . . . [and] assured [Ivanka] and others that they should not be concerned since the investigation was ‘going nowhere,’ ” the Trump complaint said.
