This Week in Politics: The House Judiciary Committee's "field hearing" in New York City

WNYC News | Apr 4, 2019

Congress is back in session next week. But instead of convening in Washington D.C., members of the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee plan to hold a field hearing in lower Manhattan on Monday, April 17 - ostensibly to examine how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office treats victims of violent crime.

Democrats say something else is happening here, and it has more to do with interfering with Bragg's case against former President Trump.

WNYC's Senior Politics Reporter, Brigid Bergin joins Weekend Edition host David Furst with the latest.
