Political Theater: House Judiciary Committee Hearing on NYC Crime.

House Republicans held a hearing on violent crime in New York City, focusing on Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, who indicted former President Donald Trump. Republicans attacked Bragg for his supposed left-wing political agenda, but Democrats pointed out that crime rates in Manhattan have actually decreased slightly this year. The hearing was criticized for being more about politics than fact-finding, and many of the crimes discussed took place before Bragg became district attorney. The hearing likely gained Bragg votes for his next election.
