Letitia James town hall derailed by Trump supporter’s question: ‘Will you apologize?’

Context:

During a town hall meeting held by New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Trump supporter disrupted the event by demanding an apology from James for what he described as a 'witch trial' and questioned her about alleged mortgage fraud. The crowd reacted with boos, and the man was escorted out, while James responded with a brief 'thank you for coming.' James, known for her lawsuit against Donald Trump alleging financial fraud, is currently under a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice for alleged mortgage fraud. The investigation was prompted by accusations that she misrepresented a property to obtain favorable loan terms, a referral made by a Trump administration official. Critics claim the investigation is a retaliatory move against James for her legal actions against Trump, highlighting a potentially politically motivated legal battle between the two figures.
