FDNY “looking into” officers booing New York AG who sued Trump

New York Fire Department Commissioner Laura Kavanagh is reportedly trying to find which firefighters and staffers booed New York Attorney General Letitia James during a promotion ceremony earlier this week, according to a report.

Some members of the FDNY booed Ms James and chanted Donald Trump's name over her during the ceremony, which was held at the Christian Cultural Centre's Brooklyn Campus, according to the New York Post.

“Oh, come on. We’re in a house of God. First, simmer down,” Ms James told her detractors during the event. “Thank you for getting it out of your system.”

Ms James was at the event because her friend, Reverend Pamela Holmes, was bring sworn in as the department's second female chaplain. She is the first Black woman to hold the title.

The attorney general won a $454m civil fraud judgement against Mr Trump after he was found guilty of inflating his personal wealth to convince investors to fund his real estate ventures.

The FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges reportedly sent an email to agency heads warning that the search was by its Bureau of Investigation and Trials to find who disparaged the state's attorney general.

In his email, he said he recommended that the individuals «come forward.»

«I have been told by the commissioner it will be better for them if they come forward and we don't have to hunt them down,» he said in the email.

Mr Hodges reminded the agency heads that there was video of the event.

“I realize members might not come forward but they should know that there is clear video of the entire incident and they will be contacted by BITS if they don’t,” he wrote in the
