House Judiciary hearing on Manhattan crime draws emotional testimony and political theatrics.

The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on crime in Manhattan, with Republicans using the opportunity to criticize progressive Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, who recently indicted former President Donald Trump. Witnesses included victims' families, who criticized Bragg's policies, and bodega worker Jose Alba, who was charged with murder after stabbing an assailant in self-defense. Democrats criticized Republicans for not doing more to stop gun violence and pointed out that Republican-led states tend to have higher rates of violent crime than Democratic ones. Trump supporters also made an appearance at the hearing.
