More rebukes for prosecutors: Grand jurors refuse to indict 2 people accused of threatening Trump
September 2, 2025
Federal grand jurors in the nation’s capital have refused to indict two people who were charged separately with threatening to kill President Donald Trump. It’s more evidence of a growing backlash against Trump’s law enforcement intervention in Washington, D.C. It is rare for a grand jury to balk at returning an indictment, but it has happened at least seven times in five cases since Trump last month ordered a surge in patrols by federal agents and troops in the District of Columbia. Two of the cases involved threats against Trump.
