“U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has convened a special grand jury in Washington, D.C., amid a clash with President Donald Trump, according to a report. A special grand jury is a rare legal body that can release a potentially critical report about the subject of an investigation if there is a ‘preponderance of evidence’ of wrongdoing, regardless of whether there is enough evidence to bring the person to trial. … The special grand jury has reportedly been convened as Trump has pressured Pirro to deliver on cases he wants prosecuted. Since Pirro has been in office, she has failed to successfully prosecute a man who allegedly threw a Subway sandwich at a federal agent; six Democratic lawmakers who released a video advising military members to reject illegal orders; and [Jerome] Powell, whom Trump claimed had mishandled a Federal Reserve renovation project.” (08/12/26)
