Maggie Goodlander

Maggie Goodlander is a Democratic lawmaker who, along with several other Democratic legislators, 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, Goodlander and others were investigated by the Department of Justice under the Trump administration. Recent news indicates that a federal grand jury declined to indict Goodlander and the other Democratic lawmakers involved. This decision represents a setback for Trump's efforts to punish perceived political enemies and highlights the ongoing scrutiny of actions taken during his administration. The case also raises questions about the limits of free speech and the responsibilities of lawmakers in advising the military.
