Gov. Kathy Hochul says she’ll talk with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg about soft-on-crime policies
Gov. Kathy Hochul will meet with embattled Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for the first time on Friday, she told The Post, noting that she’s “monitoring” the controversy surrounding his soft-on-crime policies.
But Hochul stopped short of calling for Bragg’s removal from office.
“I know full well the powers that the governor has — I’ll be having a conversation very shortly to convey, to let him tell me what his plans are and make sure that we’re all in alignment,” Hochul said during a meeting with The Post’s editorial board Wednesday.
The pair will meet at the governor’s Midtown office, according to a source.
“I have options, but I will be monitoring the situation very closely.”
