House GOP holds hearing to discredit Manhattan DA in defense of Trump.

House Republicans on the Judiciary Committee held a field hearing in New York seeking to discredit Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s criminal case against former President Donald Trump, claiming that Bragg is more focused on going after Trump for political reasons than addressing crime in New York City. Democrats argue that Republicans are acting as an extension of Trump’s defense team and should focus instead on public safety issues like gun violence. The hearing comes as the legal drama between Bragg and House Republicans has intensified in recent days, with Bragg suing House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and seeking to block him from taking certain investigative steps.
