Jason Crow

Jason Crow is a Democratic Representative from Colorado. He is one of several Democratic lawmakers who participated in a video released in November urging service members to refuse illegal orders. This video drew the ire of then-President Donald Trump, who called for the lawmakers to be jailed. As a result, the Department of Justice investigated Crow and other participants, including Elissa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan. A grand jury in Washington D.C. declined to indict Crow and the other Democrats. The investigation and subsequent rejection of charges are newsworthy due to the political implications of the Trump administration targeting political opponents and the debate surrounding the role of the military and the legality of orders.
