The House Judiciary Committee announced on Monday it will hold a field hearing in New York City to “examine how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s pro-crime, anti-victim policies have led to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for New York City residents.”
The announcement came less than a week after former president Donald Trump was arraigned for 34 felony counts of falsifying business records following Bragg’s years-long investigation into Trump. Trump pleaded not guilty.
After the indictment, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, accused Bragg of “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority” and demanded that Bragg testify before Congress.
“In light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision,” Jordan wrote in a letter to Bragg last month.
Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz has "never seen a weaker indictment," but he told NEWSMAX that "there's no chance of a fair trial or dismissal" for Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg's case against former President Donald Trump. t.co/vIm8KNr9vf pic.twitter.com/0ydnEZfeiN
