US EditionSenate GOP grows uneasy as Pentagon’s Kelly investigation escalates
Sen. Kelly questioned Defense Secretary Hegseth on controversial Caribbean strikes and a Pentagon probe into a video urging troops to disobey unlawful orders amid rising political tensions.
- On Tuesday, Sen. Mark Kelly challenged Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at a classified Senate briefing about U.S. strikes and a Pentagon probe during a closed-door meeting of the entire U.S. Senate.
- The Defense Department on Monday elevated its prior review of Sen. Mark Kelly's video recorded last month to an official Command Investigation involving the Pentagon general counsel.
- Seated just feet from Hegseth, Kelly asked about Venezuela operations and then urged him to stay on topic, citing `Kelly interrupted Hegseth as Hegseth was going after him for the video, noting his question had nothing to do with that`, Desiderio wrote.
- Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have vowed to investigate the strikes that killed two men, while Kelly's attorney vowed to fight the probe in court, calling it unconstitutional.
- Legal experts warned the strikes may amount to war crimes, prompting oversight questions about rules of engagement and civilian casualty oversight in U.S. operations off the coast of South America.
