FBI Requests Interviews with Six Democratic Lawmakers Over Military 'Illegal Orders' Video

The FBI seeks interviews to determine if any wrongdoing occurred after six Democratic lawmakers urged troops to refuse illegal orders in a video, amid a Pentagon review of Sen. Mark Kelly.

  • On Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025, the Federal Bureau of Investigation requested interviews with six Democratic lawmakers via House and Senate Sergeants at Arms over a video urging troops to refuse unlawful orders.
  • Amid concerns about recent strikes and Guard deployments, the six former service members and intelligence officials said they produced the video after uniformed and veteran service members raised questions.
  • The Pentagon announced it was reviewing Sen. Mark Kelly, D‑Ariz. for possible military law breaches and Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the review completed by Dec. 10 under the UCMJ.
  • Democrats called the moves intimidation and said they received threats, with the U.S. Capitol Police assigning round-the-clock protection to Sen. Elissa Slotkin on Thursday.
  • The broader context includes recent DOJ prosecutions of critics and the Uniform Code of Military Justice's sedition penalties, which can include death for troops, unlike civilian seditious conspiracy laws.
