Federal prosecutors are now following the money trail between New York Attorney General Letitia James and her hairstylist, Iyesata Marsh, according to the New York Times.

Marsh is currently facing bank fraud and aggravated identity theft charges tied to a 2019 Land Rover purchase—and investigators are now questioning whether Marsh’s relationship with James played a role in her finances.

This includes tens of thousands of dollars in campaign spending for studio rentals and event work connected to Marsh, who is also a friend.

Marsh is the owner of a Brooklyn hair salon and was an event manager, between May 2018 and February 2019, during the AG’s re-election bid, according to multiple sources and reports. During that period, James’ campaign paid Marsh an estimated $36,000.

To clarify: James has not been accused of any wrongdoing, nor has Marsh, as it relates to the NY AG. This new federal inquiry is still in its early stages.

This is not the first time James has faced the feds. This December, two grand juries and one judge rejected a weak mortgage fraud case against her after she was accused of bank fraud over a Virginia home purchase.

The case quickly collapsed after judges found the leading prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was improperly appointed, and two separate grand juries refused to indict her. 

​“Like their earlier attempts, this attack on Ms. James is doomed to fail,” said her lawyer, Abbe D. Lowell, in a statement shared by the Times. He also called the latest accusations a sign of “desperation” and the entire ordeal “makes indelible the stain already put on this Justice Department.”

The current administration has repeatedly pushed to force James out of her role through criminal charges that judges later ruled were built on shaky legal ground. Each attempt was questionable even in its early stages, and each failed case has raised new questions about whether these moves are about justice or payback.

For now, the focus is on the receipts: invoices, loans, campaign checks, and that Land Rover deal. Whether this evolves into a blockbuster corruption case or is merely another failed attempt to bring down a perceived political adversary, time will tell.
