Watchdog files bar complaint against Jeanine Pirro over bid to indict 6 Democratic lawmakers

On Tuesday in Washington, a legal watchdog filed bar complaints against U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and two of her lieutenants. The complaints allege that Pirro and her associates violated their ethical duties by attempting to charge six Democratic lawmakers with federal crimes.

The attempted indictments stem from the lawmakers' appearance in a video that called on federal action. The watchdog's filing centers on whether the prosecution effort breached professional and ethical standards governing federal prosecutors.
