DOJ sends grand jury subpoenas to Philadelphia DA Krasner after judge's referral: Report
The inquiry follows a federal judge’s call to examine possible conspiracy, obstruction and perjury tied to a post-conviction case.
- The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's office, issuing grand jury subpoenas in recent days centered on potential obstruction of justice in a pending case.
- U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond referred Krasner and deputy Matthew Stiegler to federal prosecutors last month, alleging false statements, perjury, and conspiracy regarding a murder conviction under his jurisdiction.
- The controversy stems from Dennis Johnson's 2009 murder conviction, where prosecutors testified Krasner pressed staff to "protect the office" and threatened "consequences" for those who refused his orders.
- Krasner denounced Diamond's findings as "Orwellian," calling the judge a "ringmaster" of a "circus," and stated he will appeal the disqualification order to a higher court.
- The Justice Department and U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia declined to comment Tuesday on the ongoing probe, though grand jury subpoenas do not establish criminal wrongdoing.
