Grand jury refuses to indict six Democrats who urged military to reject illegal orders

A grand jury declined on February 10, 2026 to indict six Democratic lawmakers the DOJ sought to prosecute over a November 2025 video urging military and intelligence community members not to comply with unlawful orders. The video featured Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan. Trump had called the lawmakers traitors engaged in sedition at the highest level. Legal experts cited the Speech or Debate Clause and First Amendment as bars to prosecution.
