UPDATE: A rare House Judiciary Committee field hearing was held Monday near Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office following the indictment of former President Donald Trump. GainerTV has the latest.
"It is an effort to interfere with the administration of justice," Rep. Adam Schiff said.Protesters filled the hall, chanting,"The hearing is a sham." Trump supporters countered with"USA, USA" chants. A member of the public was booted after a lengthy outburst. He was led out of the building by police.
Some questioned why Manhattan was selected for a hearing on violent crime when the rate remains below the national average. "Ohio's murder rate in 2020 was 50% higher than New York City's," said Jim Kessler, co-founder and senior vice president of Policy of Third Way."And assault ... 34% percent higher, and burglary ...146% higher.""There is a perception in the city that it is not safe," said Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona."We have five or six cities on the list, but I'm not sure which are scheduled and when," said Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana.
Asked if she felt she was being used for political purposes, Brame responded,"I'm a willing participant.""Over 70% of guns that are used in crimes in New York City and across New York state come from out of state, the Iron Pipeline, from weak gun-law states, including Florida, the Carolinas and Georgia," said Rebecca Fischer, executive director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence.
"If Republicans really wanted to stop violent crime they would be in D.C. right now working with Democrats to pass common sense gun legislation," said Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia.
