A town hall being held by New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday night was briefly disrupted when an apparent supporter of President Donald Trump stood up to challenge her to apologize to the president.

Though panelists mainly voiced leftist talking points throughout the night and the room primarily consisted of anti-Trump individuals, one apparent supporter of Trump stood up to ask James a question.

"My question is for Tish James. Will you apologize to President Trump for wasting millions of dollars and the state of New York for a witch trial?" asked the man, adding, "And how does it feel to know that you are [going to] prison for mortgage fraud?"

The crowd erupted with boos and the man was escorted out.

Though she did not directly respond to the man, James did shout "thank you for coming" over the crowd.

James, a Democrat, is best known for filing a lawsuit against Trump and several of his family members, as well as associates and businesses, alleging "numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentation" regarding financial statements.

Though Trump was ordered to pay $454 million in civil damages, the fine was later reduced significantly.

In response, Trump has called James’ case part of a "witch hunt" against him on the taxpayer’s dime.

The Department of Justice has since opened a criminal investigation into James.

News of the federal probe follows a criminal referral from the Trump administration's Federal Housing Finance Agency Director, William Pulte. He requested the DOJ investigate James over accusations that she misrepresented a single-family home in Virginia as her primary residence to obtain more favorable loan terms.

She's also accused of misrepresenting the number of livable units in a multifamily Brooklyn house to obtain better loan terms. 

In April, NYC attorney Pierre Debbas told Fox News Digital that the criminal referral targeting James likely wouldn't have happened if she hadn't spent years going after Trump in court.

"The attorney general's case that was brought against Donald Trump was honestly a pure manipulation of the legal system, and it was laughable," he said.

"To be perfectly frank, this is a retaliatory case brought by the president for what the attorney general did to him over the last several years," he went on. "Something that's never taken place in the history of New York that was isolated at one particular person for a politically driven purpose."

Chaos and wild brawls broke out at a New York City university on Thursday evening after pro-Palestinian activists tried setting up an encampment on college grounds.

New York Police Department (NYPD) officers were dispatched to Brooklyn College after anti-Israel agitators refused to take down their tents. Videos show activists, many of whom were wearing keffiyehs, yelling and swearing as police officers attempted to get the unruly crowd under control.

"Stop shoving people! Stop f--king shoving people!" one female protester yelled.

"Get the f--k out! Get the f--k out!" another screamed.

In an emotionally charged portion of the video, police pulled back a man's shirt and tased him as he screamed. 

An officer urged a woman to take her child away from the scene.

"Get that baby out of here now!" a cop warned the phone-wielding woman. "Get that baby out of here!"

"The cops are out of control," a woman is heard saying.

Brooklyn College told Fox News that the protesters "erected tents on the Brooklyn College quad in violation of college policy."

"After multiple warnings to take the tents down and disperse, members of CUNY Public Safety and NYPD removed the tents and dispersed the crowd," the statement added.

"The safety of our campus community will always be paramount, and Brooklyn College respects the right to protest while also adhering to strict rules meant to ensure the safe operation of our University and prohibit individuals from impeding access to educational facilities."

The chaos comes a day after over 100 anti-Israel agitators stormed the Butler Library at Columbia University. The chaos erupting as students were trying to study for finals.

In total, the NYPD made 80 arrests at the prestigious college, a source told Fox News.
