President Trump labeled a video in which Democratic members of congress, including Rep. Jason Crow, urged members of the military not to follow unlawful orders as "sedition." But a federal grand jury refused to indict him. Then, former state DNA scientist Missy Woods pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that she tampered with results in more than a thousand cases.
