“Federal prosecutors in Washington have dropped their case against six Democratic lawmakers who released a video urging military servicemembers to refuse illegal orders. The decision – confirmed by the BBC’s media partner CBS News – follows US Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office failing to secure a grand jury indictment against the six military and intelligence veterans. The justice department could still pursue the case in a different district, but there were no signs on Tuesday that it intended to do so. Pirro’s office had no comment. After the Democrats released the video, President Donald Trump called the lawmakers ‘traitors’ and suggested the video was an offence ‘punishable by death.’ He later said he was not threatening death for the six.” (02/24/26)
