DOJ Opens Probe Into Democrats Over Video Urging Troops to Refuse Illegal Orders

Prosecutors have not identified any suspected offense.

Overview

  • Rep. Jason Crow said the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office contacted him last week seeking an interview about the Nov. 18 video.
  • Sen. Elissa Slotkin said she received a similar request and that an FBI Counterterrorism inquiry reached Congress late last year.
  • The six participants were Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlahan, Slotkin and Sen. Mark Kelly, according to the lawmakers and reporting.
  • President Donald Trump called their message “seditious behavior” and later said he was not threatening death but believed they were “in serious trouble.”
  • U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office declined to confirm any probe, and Kelly separately sued Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon over efforts to censure and demote him for the video.
