Chair Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and his House Judiciary Committee are in New York City today for a field hearing on violent crime. Jordan has been critical of soft-on-crime DA Alvin Bragg who is focusing city resources on prosecuting former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump on hush money charges from 2016 instead of going after violent criminals.
Listen to some of the testimonies below and see how badly Bragg is blowing it.
Watch some of the highlights from today’s hearing below:

"Two young men were executed in…Manhattan. And I strongly believe it was because of the memos put out by the DA's Office that they were not going to enforce assaults on police officers."
