WATCH: House Republicans Hold Hearing on NYC Crime, Dems Call it ‘Bidding’ of Trump

Democrats are dismissing the House Judiciary Committee hearing on the escalating violence in New York City on Monday as” social” and” the summons of Donald Trump.”

Republicans are hosting several speakers on crime in the city, which saw major crimes rise 22 percent last year. New York officials reportedly urged Republicans to cancel the hearing, and C-SPAN is refusing to carry it live. 

Jerold Nadler, a representative from N. Y. ) Because the space is governed by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, who filed charges against Trump earlier this month for alleged hush cash payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, the reading was dismissed as the” summons of Donald Trump.”

Republicans brought listeners outlining gruesome murder views in the community, including a woman whose partner was murdered and he who was arrested for defending himself against an attacker. Nadler and Democrats are concentrating on gun control and mass shootings.

NYPD officers are fleeing the “unfixable” city and Democrat officials are telling store owners to ban face masks to help catch shoplifters. Left-wing advocates have said shoplifters are poor individuals trying to get by in one of the country’s most expensive cities, but new data show nearly a third of shoplifting cases in the city are committed by a small group of organized thieves. 

Republicans are probing Bragg and his office after this month’s arrest of Trump. Bragg is suing Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) to stop his subpoena of a former Bragg staffer who left the office over the Trump case. Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records on April 4.
