I think it is a link to a fundraising page. Do you have any info to add, and a link to a _news_ page? ---

I’m sorry, I really don’t know how that happened. That’s not what the preview looked like. Here’s a different link. > **[Dan Goldman, lead counsel in Trump impeachment, to run for New York attorney...](https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/new-york-elections-government/ny-attorney-general-candidate-dan-goldman-announces-run-20211116-mew3e7mgfzdgdpenprju25hzsq-story.html)** > > In an interview with The News on Monday, Goldman framed himself as the right man for the moment, in large part due to his experience prosecuting mobsters, white-collar criminals and a former president. ---

I like him and if I lived in New York, I’d probably vote for him. He played a big role in one of the impeachments of Trump, so I thought he was better known. ---

Please provide more than a link and a simple question in the future. Do not post fund raising links in the future without permission from the staff. If it is a political campaign the answer will be no. I removed the inappropriate link along with closing the empty thread.
