The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

Are you sure?
Certainly juries at conventional trial do not.
But grand juries perform to different standards. Seems to me I vaguely recall members of a grand jury can make inquiries.

But you are forgetting a grand jury is secret, and before the person of interest has not been charged yet.
The purpose of the grand jury is to absolve the prosecutor from being sued over a weak and questionable prosecution.
So there is no defense present at a grand jury.
Which means the prosecutor can essentially lie and get away with it.

The juries at a trial can't cross examine witnesses, but the defense can.
Problem with a grand jury is that no defense is allowed to be present.
