Pirro’s Office Fails Three Times to Indict Alleged FBI Agent Attacker
The US attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., faces challenges in securing grand jury indictments, as evidenced by a recent case where a grand jury voted “no” three times on a felony assault charge. The case involved an incident with an FBI agent and an immigration officer. The grand jury’s repeated rejection of the indictment comes amid increased scrutiny of the office’s crackdown on crime and aggressive charging practices, particularly regarding assaults on police. Ultimately, the accused will face misdemeanor charges instead of a felony.
