The “Last Word” host discussed the development with Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) after a grand jury formally declined to indict Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.), Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) and Jason Crow (D-Colo.). Advertisement“They sought to indict six members of Congress,” Schiff told O’Donnell. He argued the Department of Justice under U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi was “no doubt acting under the instructions” of Trump when the indictments were sought. Trump seemed to suggest that these were “seditious” remarks “punishable by DEATH!”Tuesday’s failed indictment was the latest example of a grand jury declining to back charges brought by the administration against those who’ve angered Trump. Schiff told O’Donnell that their blunder “should be applauded,” but added a caveat.

The Democratic lawmakers have been a frequent target of Trump’s verbal and online attacks. AdvertisementRepublican lawmakers have largely stood by while Trump’s administration has used the levers of government to attack Democratic lawmakers, Democratic-run states, and other institutions on the left.
