A new investigation was launched into New York Attorney General Letitia James.
They are looking into the payments Letita James made to her longtime hairdresser.
Federal prosecutors have opened a new investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, examining campaign payments made to her longtime hairdresser during her successful 2018 campaign, according to reports by The New York Times and CBS News.
President Donald Trump shared the New York Post report on Truth Social on Sunday night as he was landing at Joint Base Andrews, returning from a weekend at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
The inquiry focuses on roughly $36,000 paid by James’ campaign to Iyesata Marsh between May 2018 and February 2019. About $22,000 of that total was reportedly for use of Marsh’s Brooklyn salon as a campaign office in the final months of the race.

Marsh was indicted last month in Louisiana on federal charges of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft, tied to the alleged use of another person’s identity to obtain a loan to purchase a Land Rover.
A grand jury indicted Letitia James last fall.
The case was dismissed due to a federal judge ruling that Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed.
A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted James last fall over charges that she had defrauded a financial institution in order to secure a better interest rate on a property she purchased in Norfolk.
The case was dismissed in November, however, after a federal judge ruled that Lindsey Halligan, the U.S. attorney who solely secured the indictment, was unlawfully appointed.
The Justice Department later tried again and twice failed to secure new indictments in the case against her, and late last year, the department appealed the ruling that disqualified Halligan.
No one is above the law.
