Attorney General Todd Blanche has been very busy in the run up to the midterm elections, stumping on the campaign trail and cannonballing into the types of politically fraught cases the Justice Department typically stays away from right before an election

Police are voluntarily testifying before a special grand jury about child deaths as prosecutors have subpoenaed social service and school records. washingtonpost.com/national-…

Pirro has tied truancy rates to recent “teen takeovers" and has repeatedly criticized DC officials as too lax on youth crime.

NEW: The special grand jury that Pirro convened is investigating the city's oversight of youth and DC public schools. In recent days, prosecutors have reached out to teachers, questioning them about truancy and graduation rates.
