.JudiciaryGOP Chairman Jim_Jordan said lawmakers want to tighten reporting on how district attorneys spend federal funds ahead of the “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan” hearing being held next week in New York City.
Jordan told the Washington Examiner that one of his Republican colleagues in the House is preparing to introduce legislation specifically targeting the reporting standards of federal money used by district attorneys in the wake of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's high-profile indictment of former President Donald Trump.Rep. Andy Biggs has already introduced two pieces of legislation in response to the historic indictment.
According to Jordan, part of why the Monday hearing is important is because"we see this happening in so many urban areas with these left-wing district attorneys. We think it's important for the country to understand what's going on here." The committee announced this week that it will hear from former Manhattan bodega clerk Jose Alba, the chairwoman of the Victims Rights Reform Council and the mother of a homicide victim, Madeline Brame, and the founder of Victims Rights NY, Jennifer Harrison, at the hearing.The Ohio congressman hopes the hearing will help uncover what is happening in the city, particularly regarding federal money.

Scientist: Progress in identifying Tulsa massacre victimsA forensic anthropologist believes investigators are a step closer to identifying victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre with the discovery of 19 surnames possibly connected to remains excavated from a Tulsa cemetery. Phoebe Stubblefield says although though the six bodies associated with the names are not confirmed massacre victims or or show signs of being victims, the link provides a possible roadmap to the most likely areas of the cemetery to search for victims. She says it could show researchers when the bodies were buried and lead to the area where bodies were buried at the time of the massacre when a white mob killed an estimated hundreds of Black people.
