After a grand jury declined to issue indictments, Sen. Elissa Slotkin is pressing the Justice Department to formally confirm that its investigation into her has ended.

In a letter sent Thursday to Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, attorney Preet Bharara requested written assurance that the department will “immediately close the investigation.” Bharara, writing on Slotkin’s behalf, asked for a response by the close of business Friday.

“The grand jury has spoken, loudly, clearly, and unanimously,” Bharara said, arguing that reminding service members of their obligation not to carry out unlawful orders does not constitute a crime.

The probe centered on a video recorded last fall by Slotkin and five other Democratic lawmakers with prior military or intelligence service. In the recording, they urged members of the armed forces and intelligence community to refuse illegal directives. The message was released during a period when the Trump administration had authorized deadly strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean.

President Donald Trump reacted strongly, calling the video “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” He publicly suggested that those involved should face prosecution, removal from office, imprisonment, or even execution.

Federal prosecutors sought to pursue charges under a statute that restricts interference with the loyalty, morale, or discipline of U.S. service members. Earlier this month, however, a grand jury declined to indict Slotkin or the other lawmakers.

At a Wednesday press conference, Slotkin criticized the president and accused him of attempting to use the justice system against political opponents. She described the moment as troubling for American democracy, saying that leadership standards have been inverted and that citizens now bear increased responsibility for safeguarding democratic principles.

The other lawmakers featured in the video were Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly and Reps. Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, and Maggie Goodlander.

Slotkin said she and Kelly are keeping their legal options open, expressing concern that the investigation could be revived. “Hope is not a strategy,” she said, adding that further legal or political action could follow.

Crow’s attorney has similarly contacted Pirro’s office seeking confirmation that the inquiry into him has ceased. Meanwhile, a federal judge on Thursday blocked the Pentagon from censuring Kelly or reducing his retirement rank over his involvement in the video.

The Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office have not publicly commented on whether the investigation has been formally closed.
