A prosecutor in the office of New York Attorney General
Letitia James allegedly received instructions to investigate President Donald
Trump and organizations linked to him, according to documents cited by the New
York Post.
According to the report, Wiesenfeld stated in an email that
Shamiso Maswoswe, the office chief, ordered him to specifically investigate
Trump, Truth Social, and Hewlett Packard, even though—according to
Wiesenfeld—there was no credible reason to open investigations against those
organizations and individuals.
“Wiesenfeld alleged in his email that the office chief,
Shamiso Maswoswe, specifically ordered him to investigate Trump himself, Truth
Social, and Hewlett Packard (...) without having a credible reason to
investigate said organizations and individuals,” the report states.
The statements have raised questions about the handling of
investigations within the state prosecutor's office and whether some of them
may have been politically motivated. So far, the accusations correspond to the
version attributed to Wiesenfeld and will need to be corroborated with
documentation and responses from the parties involved.
