Federal Prosecutors Open New Probe Into NY AG Letitia James Involving Campaign Payments Made To A Brooklyn Hairstylist

What’s Next

Witness outreach: Prosecutors are expected to formally interview or seek cooperation from Marsh regarding campaign-related payments.
Document review: Campaign finance filings, vendor agreements, and contemporaneous records from 2018–2019 are likely to be examined.
Charging decision: No indictment timetable has been announced; the inquiry may conclude without charges, as prior efforts did.
Political implications: Any escalation could trigger renewed legal challenges, motions to dismiss, and public claims of selective or retaliatory prosecution.
