US EditionSen. Kelly says death threats have increased since Trump called for his execution
The Pentagon probe follows a video by Kelly and Democrats urging troops to refuse illegal orders; Trump labeled the act seditious and warned of court-martial or administrative action.
- Last week, the Pentagon announced it was investigating Sen. Mark Kelly after President Donald Trump called the lawmakers' actions 'SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!'
- Kelly and other former service members released the PSA in mid-November urging service members they "can" and "must" refuse illegal orders, with Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., lending military credibility as a retired Navy captain and former astronaut.
- A subsequent post closed with `DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE!!!` and referenced the 'Department of War' investigating Sen. Kelly, Trump said on social media last week.
- The FBI last week requested interviews with Sen. Mark Kelly and others, and at a Dec. 1 press conference, Kelly said threats against him and his wife have sharply increased.
- Legal experts warn that a sedition case against Kelly would be "dead on arrival," while the House and Senate Armed Services Committees investigate strikes involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with Title 18, Chapter 115, Section 2387 guiding penalties.
