Right before the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee “field hearing” on New York City crime in Lower Manhattan on Monday, Congress Member Jerry Nadler (D-Manhattan) and Mayor Eric Adams blasted the proceedings as a “political stunt,” while pointing to what they characterized as the party’s failure to address gun violence nationally.
The hearing, titled “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan,” is aimed at looking into what House Republicans said are Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s “pro-crime, anti-victim policies,” as an apparent response to Bragg recently charging ex-President Donald Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records.
