TISH BOMBSHELL: Letitia James Prosecutor Says AG’s Office Ordered Political Hit Job on Trump and His Allies

Maswoswe had previously been fired by Trump’s Justice Department in 2017, then sued for race, sex and childcare discrimination—winning a $795,000 settlement from the Biden administration in 2023. The prosecutor who exposed the alleged political targeting was placed on paid leave, while James’ office dismissed the scandal as a “personnel matter.”

Aide claims AG ordered him to find dirt on Don, allies

By: NY Post, August 31, 2026:

A vet­eran pro­sec­utor in state Attor­ney Gen­eral Leti­tia James’ office claims he was ordered to dig up dirt on people and groups “affil­i­ated with Don­ald Trump,” accord­ing to a bomb­shell report.

Daniel Wiesen­feld, a former Brook­lyn pro­sec­utor who now works in James’ Investor Pro­tec­tion Bur­eau, said his boss instruc­ted him “to find and pur­sue crimes” com­mit­ted by Trump allies, accord­ing to a since-deleted email obtained by the Albany Times-Union.

PERSECUTORS: In state Attor­ney Gen­eral Leti­tia James’ office, Investor Pro­tec­tion Bur­eau Chief Sham­iso Mas­woswe (above) allegedly dir­ec­ted her team to tar­get Pres­id­ent Trump and his allies, accord­ing to an ex-pro­sec­utor.

Wiesen­feld alleged in his email that Bur­eau Chief Sham­iso Mas­woswe spe­cific­ally dir­ec­ted him to tar­get “Trump him­self, Truth Social, Hew­lett Pack­ard (DOJ approved mer­ger) . . . without hav­ing a cred­ible reason for tar­get­ing the organ­iz­a­tions and indi­vidu­als,” the out­let repor­ted.

The feds recently approved a $14 bil­lion mer­ger between Hew­lettPack­ard and Juni­per Net­works.

“If you believe Trump is using the [Depart­ment of Justice] attor­neys to pro­sec­ute his enemies and fur­ther his polit­ical interests, you should find it equally troub­ling that Tish [James] is doing exactly the same thing,” Wiesen­feld allegedly wrote in the mes­sage, which went to some 2,000 staffers Fri­day before being yanked.

“I ask you that you not serve as Tish’s per­sonal attor­neys by tar­get­ing her polit­ical enemies,” he allegedly wrote. “Instead, I hope you choose to pro­sec­ute crimes and find the indi­vidu­als account­able, rather than tar­get­ing indi­vidu­als and then find­ing crimes.”

‘Weapon­ized’ office
Wiesen­feld asked that col­leagues focus on pro­sec­ut­ing “rampant non­profit home­less shel­ter fraud and anti­semitic crimes in and around syn­agogues,” and accused James of wast­ing “sig­ni­fic­ant pub­lic tax­payer dol­lars to tar­get con­veni­ent pub­lic enemies,” the Times-Union repor­ted.

Pres­id­ent Trump and James are long-stand­ing, bit­ter adversar­ies.

Dur­ing her 2018 cam­paign, James vowed to “pro­sec­ute the pres­id­ent for crimes com­mit­ted in New York state” if she was elec­ted — and kept her word after tak­ing over the office.

In 2024, the state Attor­ney Gen­eral’s Office won a $360 mil­lion civil case against Trump, his sons and his former com­pany for over­stat­ing Big Apple prop­erty val­ues and lying about his wealth — a case later upheld on appeal but without the massive fin­an­cial pay­out.

Trump has cited the case as just one example of James’ attempts to tar­get him unfairly.

Mean­while, Wiesen­feld was placed on paid admin­is­trat­ive leave, with a rep for James call­ing the con­tro­versy “a per­son­nel mat­ter” in a state­ment to the TimesUnion.

“The office of the attor­ney gen­eral is com­mit­ted to uphold­ing New York’s laws and pro­tect­ing the rights and freedoms of all New York­ers, regard­less of polit­ical beliefs,” the state­ment said. “We strongly reject any asser­tion to the con­trary.”

However, state GOP lead­ers slammed James over the leaked email’s claims.

“Leti­tia James weapon­ized the attor­ney gen­eral’s office into a polit­ical hit squad and then tried to cover up her tracks,” state Repub­lican Chair­man Ed Cox told The Post on Sunday. “She is utterly unfit to serve.

“New York­ers deserve an attor­ney gen­eral who pro­sec­utes crim­in­als, pre­serves pub­lic records and enforces the law without fear or favor,” Cox added.

“When Saritha is attor­ney gen­eral, she will instruct her attor­neys to lock up repeat offend­ers, build res­id­en­tial treat­ment for the home­less and root out fraud — not tar­get people because of their polit­ics,” said Nicole Kiprilov, spokes­per­son for Repub­lican attor­ney gen­eral can­did­ate Saritha Komatireddy.

“It’s good to see that even the rank-and-file in the AG’s office agree that this is the right way for­ward. Let’s work together — across par­tisan lines — and cre­ate a safer, more afford­able New York.”
