"Punchbowl News journalist Andrew Desiderio reported Kelly's office had been contacted by the FBI, soon after Fox News reported the feds were going to investigate the congress members. Sen. Kelly won't be silenced by President Trump and Secretary Hegseth's attempt to intimidate him and keep him from doing his job as a U.S. Senator, a spokesperson for Kelly told Punchbowl."
"The investigation comes after Kelly and other Democrats, in a video posted by Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) on X last week, told service members that threats to the Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but right here at home. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders, the lawmakers said, as they took turns reading lines in the video."
Sen. Mark Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers received outreach from the FBI via the Senate Sergeant at Arms after a Fox News report about a federal probe. FBI and Justice Department officials are coordinating interviews expected shortly after Thanksgiving. The outreach follows a video posted on X in which the lawmakers told service members that threats to the Constitution can come from within and urged refusal of illegal orders. The group includes veterans from the Navy, Army, Air Force, and CIA. Kelly and his office characterize the FBI contact as an attempt at intimidation linked to President Trump and Secretary Hegseth.
