US EditionFBI Requests Interviews with Six Democratic Lawmakers Over Military 'Illegal Orders' Video
The FBI is interviewing six Democratic lawmakers who urged troops to reject illegal orders amid President Trump's accusations of sedition and a Pentagon review of military law violations.
- On Tuesday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation requested interviews with six Democratic members of Congress as part of an inquiry to determine whether there was wrongdoing, a Justice Department official said.
- On Nov. 18, six lawmakers including Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin released a video urging troops to refuse illegal orders, prompting President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to criticize them as the 'Seditious Six'.
- Four House members said the FBI contacted the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms to arrange interviews, and Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan said the FBI requested they submit to interviews on Monday.
- The Pentagon has opened a review that could recall Senator Mark Kelly to active duty for court-martial proceedings under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688.
- Democrats say the inquiry is a tool of intimidation, with the four House members saying Mr. Trump is 'using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass members of Congress,' while the Justice Department and FBI declined to comment.
