An official in the Suffolk County District Attorney's office was placed on leave following revelations that he made antisemitic comments in a 2016 podcast interview.
In a podcast posted to Facebook on Sept. 11, 2022, three months after beginning his position with the DA’s office, Allah detailed a visit from Farrakhan and defended the Nation of Islam leader's reputation.
A spokesperson for Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden, Tina Nguyen, told Fox News in a statement that the DA's office denounced antisemitism and other forms of bigotry. The statement, which was provided before the office was shown Allah's remarks about the Jewish man, also said the DA's office met with leaders of the Jewish community in the Boston area to address concerns.

Jesse Jackson and former US President Bill Clinton attend Aretha Franklin's funeral at Greater Grace Temple on August 31, 2018 in Detroit, Michigan."Minister Don did so many meetings with so many high-level elected officials, but it was always back door," Allah said."It was always quiet because of the misperception from the Jewish community and so a lot of that pressure has extended locally to Minister Don.
Allah changed his name from Troy Christopher Watson after serving eight years in prison for a gang shooting. It was there that he was introduced to Don Muhammed and the Nation of Islam through a radio show. The minister, who died in 2017, ledAllah said in the 2016 podcast that in county jail, he began to learn about"the history of the [Black] nation." He said he didn't learn about the topic in school where"everything was white.
