Kirshner is an outspoken critic of Trump, constantly blasting him in public. She's previously referred to the former president as a "scourge" and an "existential threat," according to the New York Law Journal. As an attorney, she has represented several high-profile male clients who've faced serious sexual abuse and misconduct allegations. She is a former Manhattan assistant district attorney who represented former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman after allegations of sexual assault and violence against him came out. Schneiderman denied all allegations but resigned from his position. Kirshner's also represented Dr. Robert Hadden, the New York gynecologist accused of sexual assault. Among his accusers was Evelyn Wang, the wife of now New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang.
