They also will inherit perhaps the highest profile investigation in the country: that of former President Donald Trump and his company.
The outgoing district attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr., is likely to decide whether to charge a case against the former President, the Trump Organization or company executives by the end of his term in December, CNN previously reported.
