Republicans upset with Donald Trump’s indictment are escalating their war on the prosecutor who charged him, trying to embarrass him on his home turf

. The House Judiciary Committee is holding a field hearing Monday, April 17, near the offices of Bragg. The committee’s Republican majority is billing it as an examination of the Democrat’s “pro-crime, anti-victim” policies. NEW YORK — — partly by falsely portraying New York City as a place overrun by crime.

New York City officials have urged Jordan to cancel the hearing. C-SPAN has declined to air it on TV. Bragg sued Jordan last week to try to block the subpoena, calling it a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” and a “transparent campaign to intimidate” him over the Trump case. A federal judge scheduled an initial hearing for Wednesday.

“People hear New York and they think crime, and that’s because they’ve been trained to think that way,” said Dr. Jeffrey Butts, the director of the Research & Evaluation Center at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan. “It’s not real. It’s just the stories that people tell.” Republican Lee Zeldin, then representing eastern Long Island in Congress, made Bragg a focal point of his campaign for governor, repeatedly promising to remove the independently elected prosecutor from office.

NY redistricting lawsuit could blow up GOP House majorityThe road to a Democratic House majority may run through a sleepy Albany courtroom if Empire State Democrats have their way. Why can't the GOP play hard politics like this Gerrymandering. Any gains by Dems in NY will be offset by gains in NCPol where Dem majority courts threw out bipartisan maps drawn by ncga majority Repubs, and then gerrymandered maps to favor Dems. With Repubs taking NC courts, new maps will be under full control of Republican Party in 2024.
