Congress and Military

The FBI has opened an inquiry and contacted the House and Senate Sergeants-at-Arms to schedule interviews with six Democratic lawmakers — Sens. Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly and Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan — after a video urged service members to “refuse illegal orders,” a move the lawmakers called politically motivated intimidation while DOJ and the FBI declined comment. Separately, the Pentagon has initiated a “thorough review” into retired Navy Capt. Sen. Mark Kelly for possible breaches of military law that could, in rare cases, lead to recall to active duty for court-martial or administrative action, an episode that has drawn fierce rhetoric from President Trump and spurred threats against the participants.
