US EditionPentagon Probes Mark Kelly Over Video Urging Troops to Refuse "Illegal Orders"
Sen. Mark Kelly faces a Pentagon review for urging troops to reject illegal orders, which could lead to court-martial or recall under military law.
- The Pentagon said on Nov. 24 that it is investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for possible military law breaches, with a review that may include recall to active duty for court-martial or administrative measures.
- In a Nov. 18 video, Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers urged members of the U.S. military and intelligence community to refuse illegal orders, prompting the Pentagon's review.
- The Pentagon noted that federal law prohibits actions that interfere with military loyalty and morale, citing the UCMJ and that Kelly as a retired Navy captain is subject to potential recall.
- Kelly pushed back on threats, saying on X Sunday, `Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch,` while law enforcement authorities investigated bomb threats against two other lawmakers who appeared in the video.
- The move is notable because Pentagon officials rarely target sitting members of Congress, making the recall of Sen. Mark Kelly extraordinary and raising free speech and separation of powers concerns.
