New York State Attorney General Letitia James was heckled by a Trump supporter at a community hearing where she claimed the freshly opened federal criminal probe into her alleged mortgage fraud is “baseless.”

James was interrupted at a community impact hearing in Westchester on Thursday night, just hours after the Trump administration opened a formal criminal probe into James over the alleged mortgage fraud involving 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 James’ cool display, she is feeling the heat from the Trump Department of Justice, which opened a criminal investigation into the AG after receiving a complaint from the Federal Housing Finance Agency 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.
