Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) told Breitbart News Saturday that George Soros-funded prosecutors are trying to destroy the United States with their soft-on-crime policies.

Alvin Bragg enflamed controversy when he announced his intent to pursue criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, making the 45th president the first former president ever to face criminal charges in American history.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said during the Monday hearing that Bragg cares “more about the perpetrators of crime than the victims”:
