Trump Allies Hold Field Hearing in Bragg’s Backyard
Yesterday, Congressional allies of former President Trump held a field hearing in Manhattan to highlight violent crime ignored by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

NBC News reported:

Trump and other Republicans have blasted the Manhattan investigation and indictment as a politically motivated witch hunt designed to damage the 2024 GOP presidential front-runner.

[Jim] Jordan, R-Ohio, and other House GOP committee chairs have launched their own investigations into Bragg's probe of Trump and have called on the DA to testify before Congress, a request Bragg rejected. Jordan has also subpoenaed former New York County Special Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz, who had led the DA’s office probe into Trump’s finances before he resigned last year.

Bragg’s office pushed back against the assertions that crime is being ignored by his office, claiming that murder is down 14% and shootings are down 17%.

NBC reported that victims aren’t buying it:

Witnesses downplayed the statistics, saying a feeling of unsafeness in New York permeated the citizenry, with residents fearful of taking the city’s expansive subway system or walk its streets.

“You cannot convince us not to believe our lying eyes with your numbers because we see it with our eyes day in and day out," said Madeline Brame, chair of the Victims Rights Reform Council, which was formed in honor of her son who was slain in Harlem in 2018.

Brame claimed the case against her son's alleged assailant fell apart when Bragg took office last year and called for Congress to withhold federal funding for the DA’s office.

“I’m not the only one, there are hundreds and thousands of us, we don’t give a damn about the politics,” she said. “We don’t care. It could be the man on the moon who’s running for president, OK, as long as whoever’s in the job [can bring] some civility and sanity to our city.”
