The highly politicized hearing, which began just after 9 a.m., comes on the heels of a criminal indictment of former President Trump by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
“The chairman says this hearing is about violent crime in Manhattan,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the ranking Democrat on the committee who represents Manhattan. “But New York remains one of the safest big cities in America.”
“I believe that law enforcement and the D.A.’s office didn’t investigate the case fully,” Alba said through an interpreter. “They rushed to judgment, and I suffered because of it. Even though the charges were ultimately dropped, they should not have been brought against me to begin with.” “Don’t be fooled, this is not a serious exercise,” said Nadler, who was also joined by Reps. Adriano Espaillat and Dan Goldman and half a dozen members of the gun-control advocacy group Moms Demand Action.
