On 2 October 2026, Governor Kathy Hochul announced that Attorney General Letitia James would serve as a special prosecutor in the investigation of a purported gang rape at Cornell University. The decision follows a civil lawsuit filed by an unnamed victim that has reignited scrutiny of the case. The appointment removes County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten from oversight, citing concerns about the original handling of evidence. James pledged to conduct a fact‑based inquiry and holds the possibility of grand‑jury charges pending her findings.

President Donald Trump has signaled that the United States may ban diesel exports if global prices continue to climb. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has urged European countries to immediately release diesel reserves to support American businesses. The US supplies 1.2 to 1.5 million barrels a day worldwide, and a ban could push prices higher worldwide. Europe, including the UK, is holding talks to coordinate a response, while diesel prices hit record highs in Britain. The move comes ahead of the U.S. mid‑term elections, adding a political dimension to the crisis.
