A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., has declined to indict Paul Anthony Bryant, a lawyer accused of threatening National Guard troops patrolling the city as part of President Donald Trump’s federal crime surge initiative. Bryant, a West Point and Columbia Law school graduate, was arrested after allegedly threatening a Guardsman with violence and physically shoving him. He faced felony charges including threatening a federal official and making threats to injure, carrying up to 10 and 20 years in prison. However, his attorney called the case baseless and noted the lack of video evidence sence National Guard troops did not wear body cameras<\/a>.<\/p>\n

the no true bill decision adds to a series of felony indictments rejected under U.S. Attorney jeanine Pirro’s office, raising concerns about jury nullification and politicization of juries in Washington. Prosecutors may either seek a probable cause hearing to present the case to another grand jury or pursue lesser misdemeanor charges<\/a> that do not require grand jury approval. Bryant, who was carrying a legally owned firearm at the time of his arrest, remains out on bond and recently surrendered concerning a separate warrant from Maryland. Neither the prosecution nor defense have commented on the outcome.
