House Republicans escalate battle with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

The House Judiciary Committee, led by Republicans, is holding a hearing in New York City next week on violent crime in Manhattan, with a focus on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's "pro-crime, anti-victim policies." The hearing comes after a grand jury empaneled by Bragg indicted former President Trump. Bragg's office called the hearing a "political stunt," while Republicans have accused him of being a rogue prosecutor driven by politics and being soft on crime. The GOP has also requested Bragg sit for a transcribed interview about his investigation into Trump and the hush money payments.
