A grand jury has refused to indict several former military and intelligence lawmakers who made a video urging military members to disobey illegal orders, according to multiple reports.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, under Jeanine Pirro, sought an indictment related to a video featuring six U.S. lawmakers, including Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ). It was not immediately clear which of the lawmakers were targeted in the failed indictment, according to the New York Times and NBC News.
Slotkin said last week that she would not sit down for a Department of Justice inquiry with Pirro and Attorney General Pam Bondi over the video. In mid-January, Slotkin revealed she was under investigation over the video.
“Today, I sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro informing them that I will not be sitting down with them for their inquiry over a 90-second video I filmed in November,” Slotkin wrote on X last week.

Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) were also featured in the video. In mid-January, Crow said the six lawmakers had each been contacted by the DOJ.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Pirro’s office for comment.
