House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan announced Monday that his panel will hold a field hearing next week in New York City to address “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan.”
The hearing, scheduled for next Monday, is expected to scrutinize Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor who brought felony charges recently against former President Trump, and whether Mr. Bragg’s social justice reform measures are linked to increased violent crime in the city.
Other district attorneys that may face similar scrutiny include Los Angeles DA George Gascon, St. Louis DA Kim Gardner, Chicago DA Kim Foxx, Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner and Austin, Texas DA Jose Garza. Mr. Bragg has become a leading focus of Mr. Jordan and the committee’s new Republican majority after he released a hush-money indictment of Mr. Trump, the first indictment of its kind against a former president in the history of the country.
Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, sent a letter last week to Matthew Colangelo, senior counsel to the New York County District Attorney’s Office, requesting testimony and documents on Mr. Bragg’s prosecutorial record.
