Loretta Lynch to lead state attorney general's NYPD investigation

Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch has been tapped by New York’s attorney general to look into clashes between the New York Police Department and protesters rallying over the death of George Floyd.

Lynch led several investigations into police departments and potential misconduct while she worked at the Justice Department. State Attorney General Letitia James announced last month her office would look into police behavior after run-ins with protesters in recent weeks, according to the New York Post.
