The office of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro has reportedly stopped pursuing a case against several Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video urging members of the military to disobey certain orders.

According to sources cited by NBC News, Pirro’s office dropped the effort after a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., unanimously rejected an attempt to indict Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Reps. Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, Maggie Goodlander, and Jason Crow.

NBC News reported that grand jurors determined the government failed to meet even the basic probable-cause standard needed for an indictment. While the case is now considered closed in Washington, legal experts note that it does not automatically prevent another federal prosecutor from attempting charges in a different district, though no such action has been announced.

The controversy stems from a video in which the lawmakers told service members they could refuse unlawful orders. “Our laws are clear, you can refuse illegal orders,” Kelly said in the clip, while Slotkin echoed, “You can refuse illegal orders.”

In November, Breitbart News reported that President Donald Trump condemned the lawmakers, calling them “traitors” and accusing them of sedition. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said they should be jailed for encouraging disobedience within the military.

Despite the political backlash, the grand jury’s decision effectively ends the prosecution effort in the District of Columbia, leaving the episode as a flashpoint in the broader debate over civil-military relations and political rhetoric.
