华盛顿— 消息人士周二向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，华盛顿特区的联邦最高检察官已决定放弃对6名民主党议员的起诉，这些议员此前发布了敦促军人不要服从他们认为非法的命令的视频。
此前据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻报道，美国检察官让娜·皮罗决定终止此案的调查，此前华盛顿特区大陪审团本月早些时候拒绝提起公诉。
一位消息人士警告称，目前尚不清楚司法部是否仍会寻求其他途径处理此案，但另一位消息人士表示，这种可能性不大。
皮罗的发言人拒绝置评。据美国全国广播公司新闻报道，在华盛顿特区决定搁置此案的消息此前已被披露。
大陪审团驳回指控在历史上极为罕见，但随着大陪审团似乎越来越关注某些案件是否存在政治化以及是否是为了报复特朗普总统的政敌，这种情况在华盛顿和其他联邦地区变得越来越普遍。
消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，几名受皮罗雇佣的政治律师被指派处理针对这些议员的案件，他们试图根据《美国法典》第18编第2387条（18 U.S.C. § 2387）对这6人提起诉讼。
该法律规定，任何人”建议、怂恿、敦促或以任何方式导致或企图导致任何军人不服从、不忠诚、哗变或拒绝履行职责”，最高可判处10年监禁。
几位消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司，在向大陪审团提交案件后，大陪审团一致驳回了起诉，这一情况更为罕见。
这6名民主党议员随后都公开谴责了这一决定，并对大陪审团表示支持。
在案件被驳回的消息公开后，科罗拉多州民主党众议员杰森·克劳的律师阿贝·洛厄尔向皮罗致信，称如果继续追究指控，他将”提醒皮罗及其办公室注意法律后果”。

U.S. Attorney’s Office drops effort to indict 6 Democratic lawmakers who posted video on illegal orders, sources say
February 24, 2026 / 11:30 AM EST / CBS News
Washington— The top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. has decided to table efforts to try to indict six Democratic lawmakers for posting a video urging military members not to follow orders they believe are illegal, sources told CBS News on Tuesday.
The decision by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to end the case comes after a grand jury in Washington, D.C. earlier this month refused to return an indictment, CBS News previously reported.
It was not yet clear whether the Justice Department could still explore pursuing other venues for the case, one of the sources cautioned. It was unlikely, another source said.
A spokesman for Pirro declined to comment. The decision to table the case in Washington, D.C., was reported earlier by NBC News.
The grand jury’s rejection of the charges is historically rare, but is becoming more commonplace in Washington and other federal districts as grand jurors are seemingly becoming more concerned about whether some of the cases are politicized and designed to exact retribution against President Trump’s enemies.
Several politically-hired attorneys who work with Pirro were assigned to the case against the lawmakers, sources told CBS News, and they tried to indict the six under a criminal statute known as 18 U.S.C. § 2387.
That law threatens a 10-year maximum prison sentence for anybody who “advises, counsels, urges, or in any manner causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military.”
After presenting the case to the grand jury, several sources told CBS that the grand jurors unanimously rejected the indictment, which is even more unusual.
All six Democrats later publicly condemned the move and applauded the grand jury.
After the rejection of the case became public, Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, wrote a letter to Pirro telling her that he was putting her and her office “on notice of the legal ramification” if they continue to pursue charges.
