Jerry Nadler: No Such Thing as High Crime in NYC
Julio Rosas
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, is ready to defend New York City's high crime rate by denying it is a big issue during Monday's hearing in the city about that very issue.
According to the New York Post, Nadler told them Chairman Jim Jordan's field hearing is a distraction from the crimes committed by former President Donald Trump.
“We will show the essentially fraudulent nature of what [committee chair] Jim Jordan and company are claiming about the crime rates in New York and compared to other cities, including Republican-led cities,” Nadler told the Post.
"And we will talk about how this whole hearing is part of Jim Jordan and the Republicans’ general attempts to obstruct justice and to attack the DA in Manhattan and to obstruct justice in the Trump case,” he added.
The Post noted violent crime overall surged in Manhattan South by 34% and Manhattan North by 14.5% in 2022 — Bragg’s first year in office — compared to 2021.
