US EditionTrump doubles down on Democrats’ sedition accusation over veterans’ video
Trump calls Democratic veterans who urged troops to refuse unlawful orders 'traitors' and accuses them of sedition amid widespread national backlash and threats to lawmakers.

- On Tuesday, Senator Elissa Slotkin posted a 90-second clip featuring six Democrats who urged service members to refuse illegal orders, citing their military and intelligence backgrounds.
- A bomb threat at Senator Elissa Slotkin's Michigan home prompted police response on Friday, with U.S. Capitol Police providing round-the-clock protection as lawmakers vowed not to back down.
- The White House later tried to walk back execution rhetoric, while Democrats condemned President Donald Trump's remarks as calls for violence, and U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche signaled legal scrutiny may follow.
- The dispute coincides with deployments of federal forces and the National Guard in Democratic-led U.S. cities, raising concerns about intimidating U.S. military service members amid recent political violence.
