NY AG Prosecutor Alleges Pressure to Target Trump Allies

The Times Union is reporting that a prosecutor in New York Attorney General Letitia James' office has accused a supervisor of directing him to pursue potential wrongdoing involving President Trump and people and organizations connected to him. According to an agency-wide email obtained by the outlet, Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld sent the allegations to hundreds of colleagues on Friday. The email was later deleted from the office's servers, and a follow-up message described the matter internally as a personnel issue, the Times Union reported. The episode raises fresh questions about the conduct of James' office, which has faced repeated accusations from Trump allies of politically motivated investigations targeting the president and his associates.
