On Monday, The New Yorker published bombshell allegations against New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman by four women who said he had physically and verbally abused them while they were in a romantic relationship. Schneiderman has since resigned — with his downfall predicted by none other than President Trump.

A liberal Democrat, Schneiderman had long been a thorn in the side of President Trump, filing a $40 million civil lawsuit against him over Trump University in August 2013. Trump, then, certainly had something to be angry about when he slammed Schneiderman on Twitter in September 2013:

Looking back now, Trump's tweet — which references Anthony Weiner, the disgraced New York congressman known for his multiple sexting scandals, and Eliot Spitzer, the state's former Democratic governor who resigned following a prostitution scandal — is rather ominous. Jeva Lange

European Union regulators on Wednesday hit Google with a record €4.3 billion ($5 billion) fine for antitrust violations, BBC reports. The European Commission said Google abused its Android market dominance by inserting its own search engine and Chrome apps into the widely used operating system for smartphones and tablets. The regulators also said Google did other things to block competition, such as paying "certain large manufacturers and mobile network operators" to exclusively bundle its search app on handheld devices.

The fine far surpassed Google's previous $2.7 billion record-breaking fine, The Verge reports, which the EU imposed last year, saying Google had manipulated search results. Google parent Alphabet has 90 days to change its business practices or face further penalties. Harold Maass

Tuesday's Late Show came at the end of a tumultuous couple of days for President Trump. Having just returned from a "disastrous" trip around Europe, during which he managed to bash NATO and rub shoulders with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump had some mopping up to do upon his return home.

In a press conference on Tuesday, Trump went into "emergency spin mode," Colbert said, listing his version of various events — including a weird fib about his meeting with Queen Elizabeth II — in an effort to make it into what Colbert calls the "Lying Hall of Fame."

But perhaps the biggest walk-back came after Trump stood next to Putin and told a room full of reporters that, despite conclusions to the contrary from American intelligence agencies, he was confident Russia did not meddle in the 2016 presidential election. "I don't see any reason why it would be [Russia]," Trump said. "That needs no clarification," Colbert assured, and then showed a clip of Trump saying his statement needed some clarification. "Okay, I stand corrected," Colbert said. "Alright Mr. President, I'll bite. Let's see how dumb you think the American people are."

Trump insists he simply misspoke. What he meant to say was, "I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be Russia."

"Yes, the sentence should have been that," Colbert said. "It was not that, but then again who among us hasn't said the exact opposite of what he just said in front of cameras on multiple occasions?" He finishes with a sick burn on Trump's "double negative" flub. Watch below. Jessica Hullinger

Researchers say that with temperatures rising in Canada's high Arctic, hundreds of glaciers are shrinking and many could soon vanish.

They used satellite imagery to study 1,773 glaciers on Ellesmere Island, the most northerly island in the Arctic Archipelago, and found that from 1999 to 2015, 1,353 shrank significantly, and a few disappeared completely. "What we found is a loss of three complete ice shelves," Adrienne White, a glaciologist at the University of Ottawa, told The Guardian. "In terms of glaciers that terminate on land, we've lost three small ice caps." From 1948 to 2016, the annual average temperature in northern Ellesmere Island increased by 6.48 degrees Fahrenheit, one of the fastest rates of anywhere on Earth.

White said none of the glaciers are showing any signs of growing, and when they "break away, all of a sudden there's nothing holding back these ecosystems that have been growing and developing for thousands of years. And they're gone before we even have the chance to study them." Catherine Garcia

During an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson that aired Tuesday night, President Trump said he's been thinking about the different ways Russia assisted the United States in the past.

During World War II, "Russia lost 50 million people and helped us win the war," he said. "I was just saying to myself the other day, you know, Russia really helped us. I'm not pro-Russia, pro-anybody, I just want to have this country be safe." He doesn't "want nuclear weapons, even people thinking about it," he added. "Russia and the United States control 90 percent of the nuclear weapons in the world, and getting along with Russia, and not only for that reason, is a good thing, not a bad thing."

Carlson asked Trump if Russia is "our chief adversary," and Trump said they have a "strong military" but their economy is "much smaller than China. I don't even want to use the term 'adversary.' We can all work together, we can do great, everybody can do well, and we can live in peace." Watch more of the interview in the video below. Catherine Garcia

President Trump came out on Tuesday with what he called a "clarification" of remarks he made in Helsinki on Monday, but CNN's Chris Cuomo and his giant computer screen weren't buying it.

While standing next to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump had an "epic fail in front of the world," Cuomo said, choosing Putin's "lies over his own country's truth." Trump on Tuesday said he misspoke, and meant to say "I don't know why it wouldn't be" Russia that meddled in the election, rather than "would." Cuomo had the portion of his remarks up on the screen, and ripped apart this explanation, going sentence by sentence.

Trump believes when the 2016 election is attacked, it "delegitimizes his win," Cuomo said, and "if it comes down to what is best for Trump or what is best for you, you're going to lose, and the world saw this yesterday and it was shameful." The most authentic proof of this is found in Trump's prepared remarks from Tuesday. They were typed, but Trump wrote in huge letters on top, "There was no colusion [sic]."

"Why?" Cuomo said. "Even though it has nothing to do with saying it is true that Russia attacked us, it is what he cares about, and you know it's authentic because he misspelled collusion and that is something he does, he misspells words." Trump also crossed out a line about bringing those involved "in that meddling to justice," and that's because "he hates the notion that there could be any sense of justice, fairness under law, that involves punishing him or anyone around him," Cuomo said. "The insistence on covering for himself cost our country a lot of legitimacy in Helsinki." Watch the video below. Catherine Garcia

Rep. Martha Roby was victorious Tuesday night, winning the Republican primary runoff in Alabama's 2nd congressional district.

She defeated Bobby Bright, a former Democratic congressman who became a Republican and vocal supporter of President Trump. After the Access Hollywood tape came out in October 2016 that showed Trump bragging about assaulting women, Roby said she would not vote for him, and that was used against her by Bright and the other Republican candidates during the campaign. In the June primary, Roby was unable to get more than 50 percent of the vote, and had to face Bright in the runoff election.

Since the election, Roby has praised Trump and visited the White House multiple times, and last month, he tweeted his endorsement of her. With nearly half of all precincts reporting, Roby had 67 percent of the vote, compared to Bright with 33 percent. Catherine Garcia

During a forum on gun control last week in Tucson, a Republican candidate for Arizona's Legislative District 2 stood up and said that he is proof of the importance of, in case of an attack, having a "good guy there with a gun."

Bobby Wilson said that when he was a teenager, he shot and killed a person who came into his room and wanted him dead, The Arizona Republic reports. "You can pass all the laws you want to in this world, and when you've got somebody out there that wants to harm somebody, they're going to do it if you don't stop them," he said.

The person he killed wasn't a burglar or a stranger, but rather his mother, Lavonne. Wilson was 18 and living in Hugo, Oklahoma, when the incident occurred. He said he woke up one morning "to find a rifle in my face," and he ended up having to dodge six bullets. He reached for the gun he kept under his bed, and used that to shoot his mom. The story doesn't end there, though. His younger sister, Judy, was also killed; Wilson said his mother swung her gun and accidentally hit her in the back of the head, killing the 17-year-old.

Wilson told The Arizona Republic there were glass containers in his room filled with gasoline, and when the bullets started to fly, several shattered. When he went to turn on the light, a spark landed on the ground and the house went up in flames. He said it wasn't until he became a lawyer years later did he remember all this, because he had amnesia after the shooting.

Newspaper reports from the time say Wilson confessed to shooting his mother, and when his sister ran at him, he crushed her skull with the rifle. He placed their bodies on a bed, then set the house on fire. He was tried on homicide charges, but after a jury agreed he had amnesia, the judge halted the trial until he could remember what happened. After seven years, Wilson asked for the charges to be dismissed, and a judge agreed. Read more about this bizarre tale at The Arizona Republic. Catherine Garcia
