On Monday, members of the House Judiciary Committee met in New York for a hearing on violent crime in the city.
A hearing on crime held by the House Judiciary Committee on Monday took several surprising turns with members from both sides of the aisle offering an array of different views.
On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee, led by Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan, held a hearing in New York City to discuss violent crime and District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s policies.
«The House Judiciary Committee will hold a field hearing on Monday, April 17, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. ET in New York City, New York. The hearing, ‘Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan,’ will examine how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s pro-crime, anti-victim policies have led to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for New York City residents,» the committee said in a statement regarding the hearing.
Earlier this month, Bragg indicted former President Donald Trump in connection to an alleged hush money scheme to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election, sparking a feud between Bragg and the House Judiciary Committee.
While Monday’s hearing featured speakers criticizing Bragg and crime in Manhattan, some Democrats on the committee shared different opinions, including some calling for the hearing to be moved to Jordan’s home state of Ohio.
