New York State Attorney General Letitia James faced a heckler from a Trump supporter during a community hearing where she declared that the newly initiated federal criminal investigation into her alleged mortgage fraud is “without merit.”

During a community impact hearing in Westchester on Thursday evening, James was interrupted shortly after the Trump administration announced a formal criminal investigation into her activities involving the mortgage transactions related to her Brooklyn and Virginia properties.

“Apologize to Donald Trump for wasting millions of dollars in the state of New York,” the MAGA booster shouted from the audience.

The interruption was met with a chorus of boos from the New York crowd as the demonstrator was escorted from the meeting.

“Everyone knows those allegations are baseless,” James said in response.

“We want to thank him for coming, we respect all opinions,” the AG added.

Despite maintaining her composure, James is under scrutiny from the Trump Department of Justice, which commenced a criminal investigation after the Federal Housing Finance Agency lodged a complaint against her last month.

The government alleges that James falsified records to meet certain lending requirements to receive favorable loan terms.

Feds claim James misrepresented the number of units in her Brooklyn home and falsely stated that a home in Norfolk, Virginia, was her principal residence.

The alleged infractions could amount to criminal charges stemming from wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and making false statements to a financial institution.

New York state taxpayers may also be on the hook for her legal fees that stem from any probe or prosecution, according to a new item in the state budget.

Alongside James at the Westchester meeting Thursday were California AG Rob Bonta, Illinois AG Kwame Raoul, Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, and New Jersey AG Matt Platkin.
