📰 Jeanine Pirro’s Office Drops Case Against Six Democratic Lawmakers

 Washington, D.C. — The office of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has decided not to pursue the case against six Democratic members of Congress, according to sources familiar with the matter, reported by NBC News. (aol.com�)

🔎 Background:

In late 2025, the six lawmakers appeared in a social media video urging members of the U.S. military and intelligence communities not to follow unlawful orders, stating that they are obligated to follow the Constitution rather than illegal commands. (forbes.com�)

📌 The six lawmakers are:

Senator Mark Kelly (D)

Senator Elissa Slotkin (D)

Rep. Jason Crow (D)

Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D)

Rep. Christy Houlahan (D)

Rep. Chris Deluzio (D) (forbes.com�)

👩‍⚖️ Reason for Dropping the Case:

Although Pirro’s office initially planned to pursue the case, a federal grand jury in the district reportedly found insufficient evidence to issue an indictment. Without strong evidence to proceed, Pirro’s office chose to halt the prosecution. (aol.com�)

📍 Reactions:

Former President Donald Trump had called the video an act of “sedition” and demanded strict penalties. (forbes.com�)

However, the grand jury and Pirro’s decision suggest the speech may fall under the First Amendment (Free Speech) protections and does not constitute a prosecutable crime. (aol.com�)

⚖️ Next Steps:

Pirro’s office will not continue the case in D.C., though it remains unclear whether other federal districts might attempt prosecution. (democraticunderground.com�)
