Pentagon escalates review into Sen. Kelly over ‘illegal orders’ video

The Pentagon's move allows active investigation into Kelly's remarks urging troops to refuse illegal orders, amid accusations of seditious conduct and defense lawyer claims of abuse of power.

  • On Monday, the Department of Defense said it is escalating a preliminary review of Sen. Mark Kelly into a full Command Investigation to examine allegations of misconduct.
  • Following weeks of political backlash, Sen. Mark Kelly appeared in a social media video with five other ex-military or ex-intelligence lawmakers urging troops they can refuse illegal orders, prompting accusations of sedition from President Donald Trump.
  • Kelly's lawyer Paul J. Fischman told Secretary of the Navy John Phelan that DoD statements suggested recalling Sen. Mark Kelly for court-martial, warning of legal action to stop a politically motivated probe.
