Daniel Donovan Gets Wary Welcome to Congress After Eric Garner Case
By ALEXANDER BURNS
The lack of an indictment in the Staten Island chokehold case has caused
tension between his new colleagues and Mr. Donovan, a former prosecutor
and the sole Republican representing New York City.
"Yet
for others in the delegation, Mr. Donovan’s arrival has rippled in a
more disconcerting way. Several lawmakers said they remained suspicious
of Mr. Donovan’s role in the Garner case, and complained that a judge
had sided with the prosecutor and had refused to release transcripts of the confidential grand jury proceedings."
The Justice Department has opened
a civil rights investigation into the case, in which a police officer’s
chokehold on Mr. Garner, who was unarmed, led to the man’s death.
