18:38Now PlayingA Washington DC grand jury refused to indict six Democratic members of Congress after Trump administration prosecutors sought felony charges of seditious conspiracy. The lawmakers targeted include Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Alyssa Slotkin, and Representative Jason Crow, all military veterans who released a video reminding service members of their legal obligation to disobey illegal orders. Attorney General Pam Bondi and US Attorney Janine Pirro brought the case before the grand jury, seeking 20-plus year prison sentences for the Congress members. The grand jury rejected the prosecution's attempt, demonstrating ordinary citizens standing against political prosecution.
Trump had posted on Truth Social demanding punishment for what he called seditious behavior, even suggesting execution. Speaker Mike Johnson supported the prosecution attempt, claiming the lawmakers were obstructing law enforcement. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the six lawmakers the "seditious six" and initiated proceedings against Mark Kelly to reduce his military rank and retirement pay. The video these Congress members released simply restated existing military law under the Uniform Code of Military Justice regarding illegal orders.
This marks a pattern of federal prosecutors failing to secure indictments in politically motivated cases, with grand juries and trial juries across the country rejecting attempts to weaponize the criminal justice system. The grand jury's decision represents citizens protecting constitutional rights and the rule of law against authoritarian overreach by Trump appointees at the Department of Justice.
