Another federal judge in the nation’s capital has blasted the Justice Department for filing federal felony charges it couldn't convince a grand jury to approve, this time in the case of a man accused of threatening to kill President Donald Trump.
The failure to secure an indictment is another setback for Trump’s handpicked U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, whose office has repeatedly disproved the axiom that a grand jury will indict even a ham sandwich.
“It's not fair to say they're losing credibility. We're past that now,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said of Pirro's office and the broader Justice Department during a Sept. 4 hearing for the accused man, Edward Alexander Dana, a person in attendance confirmed to USA TODAY.
“There's no credibility left,” Faruqui later said, according to that person.
