  • House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) diverged from President Donald Trump's stance on prosecuting Democrats who posted a video reminding servicemembers to refuse illegal orders, stating they "probably didn't do anything worthy of prosecution and imprisonment".
  • A grand jury rejected the charges against the Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), on Tuesday night, dealing a blow to Trump's crusade against them, with Johnson conceding that imprisonment is not warranted but still defending Trump's anger over the issue.
  • The video, released during a period of intense scrutiny of the Trump administration's proposed military orders, prompted Trump and his allies to threaten the lawmakers with prosecution and even suggest their actions are punishable by death, according to reports from Raw Story.
