"Republicans' Claims on NYC Crime and Bidens Face Pushback from Democrats"

Rep. Jerry Nadler plans to dismiss claims from Republicans about rising crime rates in New York City as he defends Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg during a field hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee next week. Nadler claims that the claims are "essentially fraudulent" and part of the Republicans' attempts to obstruct justice. However, certain violent crimes have increased in recent years, according to NYPD data. New York City Councilman Robert Holden plans to testify that Bragg has contributed to the "lawlessness" on city streets.
