  "account": "The Justice Department has decided not to issue a grand jury indictment against former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, according to sources familiar with the matter. Hutchinson's testimony before a House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection was dramatic but disputed. She alleged that President Donald Trump sought to prevent armed protesters from being screened at the rally and later grabbed the steering wheel of the presidential SUV during the Capitol breach. However, the grand jury rejected prosecutors' request to charge her, marking a setback for the Justice Department's efforts to prosecute perceived adversaries of the Republican president. The specific details of the prosecutors' allegations against Hutchinson remain unclear.",
  "summary": "It's the latest setback in the Justice Department's efforts to charge Trump's perceived adversaries.",
