A Washington D.C. grand jury refused to indict Nathalie Jones, accused of threatening President Trump on Instagram. This is one of at least four recent instances where D.C. grand juries rejected Justice Department indictments. Former prosecutors say this is unprecedented, suggesting a credibility crisis for the department. The reasons for the rejections are unclear, but some speculate jurors disagreed with the prosecution's arguments. Jones' case continues, with a hearing scheduled, while other rejected cases were dismissed.
