Kamala Harris, a prominent political figure, expressed strong criticism towards the indictment of Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, during a book tour event in Washington, D.C. The event was marked by disruptive protests against Israel's military actions in Gaza. Harris, a former district attorney and attorney general, highlighted the Trump administration's controversial appointment of an incompetent individual to the Justice Department, leading to the indictment of the New York attorney general despite a previous prosecutor's lack of evidence. This incident sparked further controversy as James, who had successfully sued Trump in a civil fraud case, faced ongoing investigations for alleged mortgage fraud. The protests, which included chants like 'Your legacy is genocide,' disrupted the event multiple times, with Harris expressing frustration and defending her stance on immigration enforcement and the deployment of the National Guard in major cities. Amid a government shutdown and potential federal layoffs, Harris urged civil servants to remain dedicated to their roles, emphasizing the importance of their work in the face of Trump's criticism.
