WASHINGTON D.C. — Ex-NY prosecutor claims AG Letitia James pushed Trump probe despite investigators finding nothing: “What Tish wanted, Tish got”.

Former New York Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld claimed he was ordered to investigate Trump despite finding no evidence of wrongdoing.

Wiesenfeld was fired after sending an agency-wide email about the pressure, and he now alleges the office is threatening him for refusing to destroy internal documents.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
