House Judiciary Republicans on Monday announced an upcoming hearing shining a spotlight on the victims of “violent crime” in the anti-Trump district attorney Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan.
According to a release from the GOP, the field hearing, dubbed “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan,” will take place Monday, April 17, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern in the Big Apple.
More specifically, the hearing will “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,” per the announcement.
Victims of Bragg’s “failure to prosecute” are going to be witnesses.
The source said that “victims” of Bragg’s “failure to prosecute” are expected to be witnesses, though they were not immediately able to share the expected witness list.
Before pursuing the indictment against Trump, Bragg, an elected Democrat, downgraded the severity of charges against many offenders.
From Jan. 1, 2022, when he took office, through late November, Bragg downgraded 52% of felony cases to misdemeanors, The Post reported.
When felony charges were brought, his office won a conviction just 51% of the time. Both percentages were lower than in comparable recent years.
Great news!
