A leaked internal email allegedly directing prosecutors to target Donald Trump and his businesses has ignited outrage, as the New York Attorney General’s office faces accusations of weaponizing the law for partisan gain.
The New York Attorney General’s office is embroiled in scandal following revelations that staff were allegedly ordered to investigate President Donald Trump, his social media platform Truth Social, and other affiliated entities. According to a report, Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld stated he received an email from senior official Shamiso Maswoswe instructing him to 'find and pursue crimes' related to Trump and his organizations, notably without any specific legal justification. The email was reportedly scrubbed from office servers, and a follow-up message from the agency’s general counsel, Kumiki Gibson, dismissed the incident as an internal personnel matter—raising further suspicions of a cover-up.
A spokesperson for the office told Fox News Digital that the agency is committed to enforcing New York law impartially and denied any political targeting, insisting that employees are not at risk. However, critics argue that these assurances ring hollow given the office’s relentless pursuit of Trump and his associates.
Maswoswe, who joined the Attorney General’s office in 2022 after a stint at the Justice Department, previously filed a discrimination lawsuit against the DOJ, which was settled for $795,000 in 2023. The White House, seeking to downplay the scandal, labeled the allegations as 'lawfare,' a term that accurately reflects the left’s ongoing abuse of the legal system to attack political opponents.
This controversy comes as the Attorney General’s office continues its aggressive legal campaign against Trump and his business interests, including a civil fraud lawsuit that resulted in a massive judgment—though it was partially overturned on appeal. The latest revelations reinforce concerns that the justice system is being weaponized to target conservatives and silence dissent.
