“A grand jury focuses on preliminary criminal matters only and assesses evidence presented by a prosecutor to determine whether there is “probable cause” to believe an individual committed a crime and should be put on trial. If the grand jury determines there is enough evidence, an indictment will be issued against the individual”
That makes it sound to me like they would need to do that rather than charge him, as the right to indictment by grand jury for federal felonies is guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment.
My issue with assuming he has been indicted by a grand jury though is that in the article is specifically uses “charged” over and over and charges are brought by Attorneys not Grand Juries.
I became more confused upon trying to look it up.
