"Feud between House GOP and Manhattan DA Bragg escalates with planned crime hearing"
The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, plans to hold a field hearing in New York City on April 17 to discuss "victims of violent crime in Manhattan" and examine Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's "pro-crime policies." Bragg's office criticized the hearing as a "political stunt" and accused House Republicans of inappropriately interfering with a local prosecution. The feud between Jordan and Bragg has escalated amid the historic indictment of former President Donald Trump, with Jordan leading the charge against Bragg along with other GOP chairs of influential House committees.
