A grand jury has reportedly delivered another major rebuke to the Trump administration’s efforts to target the president’s political opponents.

The failed indictment, which was sought by federal prosecutors at the Justice Department, was the latest example of a grand jury declining to back charges the administration had pursued against those who’d provoked President Donald Trump’s ire. In December, a grand jury also declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James after a judge tossed a prior case against her.

The lawmakers released the video last November to remind military members that they could “refuse illegal orders.” Since the video’s release, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Penn.), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Penn.), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) have been the subject of Trump’s verbal and online attacks.

According to The New York Times, federal prosecutors argued that the Democrats had “violated a statute that forbids interfering with the loyalty, morale or discipline of the U.S. armed forces.”

Members of the grand jury did not seem to agree.

“This is an outrageous abuse of power by Donald Trump and his lackies [sic],” Kelly wrote in a Tuesday post on X in response to prosecutors’ pursuit of an indictment. “It wasn’t enough for Pete Hegseth to censure me and threaten to demote me, now it appears they tried to have me charged with a crime — all because of something I said that they didn’t like. That’s not the way things work in America.”
