and Mayor Eric Adams blasted the proceedings as a “political stunt,” while pointing to what they characterized as the party’s failure to address gun violence nationally.
“This is not a serious exercise, this is a political stunt,” Nadler told reporters. “This hearing is being called for one reason and one reason only: to protect Donald Trump.
