Federal Prosecutors Contact Democratic Lawmakers Over Video Urging Troops to Refuse Illegal Orders

Pirro’s D.C. office requested interviews without confirming a probe.

Overview

  • Rep. Jason Crow said all six participants — Elissa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan and himself — were contacted by the U.S. attorney’s office.
  • Sen. Elissa Slotkin said Jeanine Pirro’s office sought to interview her about the November video and that she is being investigated.
  • The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia told reporters it does not confirm or deny the existence of any investigation, and no potential charges have been specified.
  • Lawmakers said the outreach follows an FBI counterterrorism inquiry in November that was conveyed through the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms.
  • Separately, the Pentagon moved to reduce retired Navy Capt. Mark Kelly’s rank and pension over his role in the video, prompting Kelly to sue Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to halt the action.
