"Just before the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on crime in the Big Apple, the committee released a video underscoring Bragg’s soft-on-crime policies, contrasting his recent charges against former President Donald Trump that many legal experts have cast doubt upon as purely political.
"The video shows multiple attacks, news clippings, and local news reports of violent crime, such as stabbings in the metro and violence against women and children.
“ 'No neighborhood is safe in New York City right now,” says a clip that captures a violent attack. “With just days on the job, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is changing how some crimes will be prosecuted,” another clip says. “He says he’ll stop seeking prison sentences for some criminal charges and will downgrade some felony charges.”. . .

"He blamed Bragg for slow-walking the case and offering one of the attackers a 'sweetheart' deal and Nadler for not stepping in to advocate for his son.
" 'You're a Jewish New Yorker,' Borgen said in comments directed to Nadler. 'I called your office numerous times. I called Mr. Schumer's office, another Jewish New Yorker, numerous times.' "...
