The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee plan to hold a field hearing in Lower Manhattan today to examine how D.A. Alvin Bragg — who is prosecuting Donald Trump — handles violent crime cases.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Congress is back in session on Monday in Washington. But instead of convening in the nation’s capital, members of the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee plan to hold aon Monday to ostensibly examine how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office treats victims of violent crime.
But there is usually a more direct connection to congressional legislation or oversight of something within its jurisdiction. The two other confirmed witnesses include Madeline Brame — chair of a group called the Victims Rights Reform Council and the mother of a man who was fatally stabbed in Harlem in 2018 — and Jennifer Harrison, the girlfriend of a man who was killed and founder of Victims Rights NY whose website has a section called “Fire Alvin Bragg.” Democrats are likely to bring someone who can talk about the justice system, and likely how Congress is overstepping its bounds here.
It’s worth noting that while felony assaults have increased, other major crimes, including murder, burglary and shootings, have trended downward so far when compared to the same time a year ago. But despite that, Republicans continue to seize on any crime they can point to and use it as a cudgel to inaccurately exploit how rampant crime is.
Bragg actually sued Jordan in federal court last week to block his subpoena of former Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz. There are several big Trump supporters, including Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Chip Roy of Texas and Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
