Hadn’t she already given testimony on the subject in question? If I recall she refused to testify a second time because she had already done so.

- onenine 7y agoMy understanding is that she did not, though this gets way into the weeds of the military trial. I can try to dig this up if you're interested (been a couple years since I read about that particular facet). She claimed a lot of legally nonsensical things on stand so I'm not sure any of it passed any scrutiny. It certainly didn't with the judge. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/chelsea-manning-faces-contempt-hearing-after-refusing-to-answer-grand-jury-questions/2019/03/07/cc170bac-4101-11e9-922c-64d6b7840b82_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/chelsea-m...
