Mark Kelly Cleared as Grand Jury Blocks Trump-Era Prosecution
A federal grand jury has refused to indict US Senator Mark Kelly, blocking a prosecution linked to a video about lawful military orders. The decision delivers a setback to federal prosecutors and raises fresh questions over free speech and political pressure within the US justice system.
Kelly and Senator Elissa Slotkin say their message reflected established military law. The fallout now extends beyond the courtroom, with scrutiny turning to the role of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and the wider implications for the rule of law in America.
