House Republicans to put Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s controversial cases on blast at NYC field hearing

House Republicans taking aim at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced plans Wednesday to put a pair of cases that weathered a firestorm of bad press for the DA on blast.

The GOP-led congressional Judiciary Committee, led by Trump-backing Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, plans to question Harlem bodega worker Jose Alba and the mother of slain Army veteran Hason Correa at a lower Manhattan hearing examining Bragg’s crime policies on Monday.

The announcement comes a day after Bragg’s office sued Jordan and his fellow committee members for an unprecedented “brazen and unconstitutional attack” on his office over its criminal indictment of ex-president Donald Trump.

Jordan’s hearing, which will happen at 26 Federal Plaza, where the FBI’s New York bureau and numerous federal law enforcement agencies are located, is named “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan.”

I know Cleveland is not part of his district, but I also know Jordan hasn't done a damn thing to help the people of Ohio.

And likely Parma GM. Jordan didn't vote for them.

"The GOP-led congressional Judiciary Committee, led by Trump-backing Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, plans to question
Harlem bodega worker Jose Alba and the mother of slain Army veteran Hason Correa at a lower Manhattan hearing
examining Bragg’s crime policies on Monday."

Aren't those crimes under the NYC's PD perview?
