Whistleblower Just Exposed AG Letitia James’ Cover-up

A whistleblower inside New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office sent out a shocking email to more than 2,000 colleagues saying that he had been instructed “to find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump,” even if lacking “a credible reason for targeting this organizations and individuals.”

Her office then rushed to delete the emails off the servers.

(From a news report by local paper, the Times-Union)

The prosecutor, who was assigned to the Investor Protection Bureau, alleged in his email that his bureau chief, Shamiso Maswoswe, had directed him to target “Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger) … without having a credible reason for targeting this organizations and individuals.”

The email sent early Friday by Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld, who officials said has worked for the attorney general’s office for about two years, was quickly deleted from the office’s servers and vanished from the inboxes of more than 2,000 employees. ...

Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld reportedly accused James of wasting “significant public taxpayer dollars to target convenient political enemies.” He also wrote:

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

The ACLJ is preparing or has filed a FOIL (NY's FOIA) request regarding this email and the targets mentioned in it. FWIW, the reference to HP was HP Enterprise's purchase/merger with Juniper Networks. Were there evidence of fraud, investigating it would have been entirely appropriate. What triggered her demand for an investigation was that the purchase/merger had been approved by the Trump Administration.

This story could grow legs, IMO.

Her office then rushed to delete the emails off the servers.

Ummm...I don't know if she does or doesn't, but if she intends to bring criminal charges against him - she just destroyed evidence.

Fed investigators met with Tish James whistleblower who claimed he was pushed to dig up dirt on Trump: sources

https://nypost.com/2026/09/02/us-news/fed-investigators-met-with-tish-james-whistleblower-who-claimed-he-was-pushed-to-dig-up-dirt-on-trump-sources/

The whistleblower in Attorney General Letitia James’ office who said he was ordered to dig up dirt on President Trump met with federal prosecutors for “several hours” Tuesday, sources said.

Daniel Wiesenfeld, a former Brooklyn prosecutor and a lawyer in James’ office, had a lengthy sit-down with both criminal and civil attorneys from the FBI and the US Department of Justice over his bombshell claims, the sources told The Post.

The extent of the feds’ interest in the case is unclear.

Wiesenfeld, who has been placed on paid administrative leave, claimed in a since-deleted Friday email to colleagues that was leaked to the Times-Union that his boss, Investor Protection Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe, instructed him “to find and pursue crimes” by Trump allies.

Annoymorously sourced, so engage appropriately sized block of salt. That said, curiouser and curiouser. Speaking realistically, if Wiesenfeld is BSing, it will not go well got him with the Feds. If he's truthing, anti-Trumper Shamiso Maswoswe will have some 'splainin' to do.
