NY Prosecutor Alleges AG Office Ordered Staff to Find Crimes Against Trump, Email Later Wiped

Summary
Daniel Wiesenfeld, an assistant attorney general in New York, alleged in a Friday agency-wide email that supervisors told staff to "find and pursue crimes" involving Donald Trump, Truth Social and other entities without credible grounds.
The Times Union reported the email was later wiped from office servers, and a follow-up message from Attorney General Letitia James' general counsel told employees the matter was internal and that no one was in danger.
James' office called it a personnel matter and denied targeting anyone for political beliefs, while the New York Post reported Wiesenfeld was placed on paid administrative leave.
The accusation lands against James' long-running legal fight with Trump, including her 2022 civil fraud case that first produced more than $450 million in penalties before an appeals court voided the financial award.
