Federal prosecutors have launched a new criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, after a grand jury previously declined to indict her twice on unrelated criminal charges, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
The new probe, which is in its early stages, marks the latest effort by the Justice Department to target one of President Trump’s perceived political enemies, after she pursued a civil fraud case against him while he was out of power.
The latest investigation, which was first reported by the New York Times, centers on financial transactions between James and her long-time hairdresser Iyesata Marsh, the sources said.
