A shocking scandal has erupted in the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., where the Department of Justice has found itself at odds with a United States attorney in San Juan. According to reports, the judge overseeing the smuggling cases in San Juan has defied department orders to dismiss the cases, instructing the grand jury to proceed with the investigation instead. The Department of Justice has since sent a stern reply, reiterating that the attorney’s duty is to obey their instructions and dismiss the cases until further notice.
