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.” Before the hearing began, Nadler and Mayor Eric Adams delivered scathing criticism of the hearing during a press conference on the second floor of the federal building.
