NY prosecutor accuses AG James' office of targeting Trump
- On Friday, Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld emailed colleagues alleging his supervisor, Shamiso Maswoswe, directed him to target President Donald Trump, Truth Social, and Hewlett-Packard without credible basis.
- These allegations arise amid a yearslong legal conflict between New York Attorney General Letitia James and Trump, stemming from her 2018 campaign promise to investigate his business dealings.
- Wiesenfeld also claimed the office prioritized Trump investigations over alleged fraud involving homeless shelters and antisemitic crimes, though the office strongly rejected his allegations as personnel matters.
- James' office placed Wiesenfeld on paid administrative leave, and spokesperson Alexis Richards stated the office is committed to enforcing New York law regardless of political views.
- Federal prosecutors have also been involved in the dispute; Sarcone III previously issued grand jury subpoenas regarding the office's handling of cases involving the National Rifle Association.
