The U.S. Attorney for D.C. is investigating Chuck Schumer over 2020 remarks seen as a threat to Supreme Court justices. Schumer warned they would “pay the price” if they ruled against Roe v. Wade, later retracting his words.
Meanwhile, 30 prosecutors were dismissed, shifting focus from January 6 cases to new investigations, possibly targeting Democrats. Officials say the changes align with the administration’s priorities.
Supporters say the inquiry upholds judicial independence, while critics call it political targeting. The move has deepened partisan divides in Washington.
If the probe continues, it could set a precedent for political speech vs. legal accountability. The outcome may shape future legal battles and political tensions.
