Letitia James Faces Backlash at FDNY Ceremony Amid Trump Fraud Case Win

Attendees boo and chant 'Trump' in support of the former president, reflecting deep political divisions.

New York Attorney General Letitia James faced significant backlash during an FDNY promotion ceremony, with attendees booing her and chanting 'Trump' in support of the former president.
The incident occurred shortly after James secured a civil fraud case win against Donald Trump, leading to a $454 million fine and barring Trump from operating any business in New York for three years.
James attempted to pacify the crowd by asking them to 'simmer down,' emphasizing the ceremony's significance and the presence in a house of God.
FDNY Chief John Hodgens criticized the disruptive behavior, stating it detracted from the ceremony's focus on promoting members' accomplishments.
The backlash reflects the political and social divisions surrounding James's legal actions against Trump, who remains a significant figure in American politics.
