Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, an ally of former President Donald Trump, said the panel will examine how the policies have 'led to an increase in violent crime' in NYC.
The House Judiciary committee will hold a panel on Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's policies some are calling "pro-crime."The House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing next week with victims who they say are suffering under Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's policies.
Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, an ally of former President Donald Trump, said the panel will examine what he calls Bragg's "pro-crime, anti-victim" policies and what they claim have led to an increase in violent crime for New York City residents. "If accurate, then House Republicans are using the awesome power of Congress as a taxpayer-funded legal defense team for Donald Trump, a private citizen, who reportedly 'directed' the nature and pace of this interference. This gross abuse of power is far outside the jurisdiction of Congress, which has no authority to use Congressional Committees for political or non-legislative purposes.
"Reporting from ABC News indicates that this coordination continues, and that immediately following DA Bragg's announced indictment of Mr. Trump, the former president began 'calling congressional allies... urging them to defend him following news of the indictment.'
