Attorney General Letitia James is no stranger to a fight. After waging battles with the Trump administration, New York’s top legal officer – and the first woman of color to hold statewide office – is keeping her attention trained on the former president’s questionable real estate ventures, while also taking on Facebook, Google, the New York City Police Department and the National Rifle Association. This year, her office issued a damning report on New York’s undercount of nursing home deaths due to COVID-19, and she appointed two independent attorneys to investigate allegations of sexual harassment against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a former ally who she might be well positioned to replace at some point in the future.

Michael Zaki Smith lost his job after his employer found out about his past conviction during a random background check. Smith is now advocating for a bill that would automatically clear criminal records of people who live crime-free for a number of years after being released.
Years ago, Michael Zaki Smith spent time in prison after being convicted. Today, he won t talk about what landed him there. As a person who paid his debt to society and saw the rest of his life tainted by his conviction, Smith said he didn t want a news story to dwell on his past.
