The facts
A legal watchdog group filed bar complaints in November 2025 against U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and two of her deputies over their attempt to charge six Democratic lawmakers.
The six lawmakers appeared in a video urging U.S. troops to refuse unlawful orders, invoking their oath under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Pirro was installed as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in 2025 after a career as a Fox News host and former Westchester County DA.
ABA Model Rule 3.8 requires prosecutors to refrain from bringing charges they know are not supported by probable cause.
Bar complaints can lead to sanctions ranging from private reprimand to full disbarment, though discipline against sitting federal prosecutors is historically rare.
