House Democrats will try to turn Republicans' anti-crime narrative against them at a GOP-led hearing in New York City that will focus on local crime — and the prosecution of former President Trump.
In that lawsuit, Bragg rejected the notion that New York is becoming more dangerous, and recounted hundreds of threats his office has received as Trump has attacked him and the judge in Trump's case.Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee , a senior Judiciary Committee member, told Axios that Democrats' message on Monday will be twofold: hitting Republicans on their attempts to intervene in Bragg's prosecution of Trump, and hammering GOP inaction on gun control.
"Because we are surrounded by mass shootings, we have to ask whether the resources and time [of the committee] are being used effectively to save lives in America," she said.House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a call with members and gun-control advocates on Tuesday to prepare for the hearing, according to multiple aides and members.Attendance could be scarce — at least a half dozen Democrats on the panel aren't planning to attend, according to their offices.
