 [WAVE] A grand jury in Washington, D.C. declined the Justice Department's request to indict six Democratic lawmakers who urged military personnel to reject illegal orders, asserting the importance of constitutional integrity. The lawmakers, including Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, emphasized their duty to protect the Constitution, amidst claims from President Trump labeling them as traitors and suggesting severe repercussions. The refusal to indict represents a significant legal development, reflecting ongoing tensions between the executive branch and legislative members over military conduct and free speech. This outcome may embolden opposition voices while leaving the door open for further legal action from prosecutors. |
