Pirro’s Secret Grand Jury Unveiled | San Antonio News

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has convened a special grand jury in D.C., led by top prosecutor Steven Vandervelden — the same man who investigated Jerome Powell and accused police of tampering with crime stats. While the scope remains secret, this move comes amid rising tension with President Trump, who’s reportedly pushing for results on cases he cares about — including ones Pirro hasn’t secured convictions in. Trump also publicly criticized her after a judge dismissed charges against Olympic athlete David Hearn for vandalism at the Reflecting Pool, calling her performance “choking” and questioning her job security. The special jury, composed of 23 members focused on one or more specific cases, can operate up to 18 months and requires majority votes for indictments — offering a high-stakes, targeted probe unlike regular grand juries.
