Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance will not run for a fourth term even though that may preclude him from completing the investigation into former President Donald Trump.

Vance, 66, plans to retire from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office at the end of 2021, and the decision was mostly made before the Trump case began, he said. Eight Democratic candidates have already begun campaigning for the job.
