FBI Contacts Six Democratic Lawmakers Over Video Urging Troops to Reject “Illegal Orders”

The FBI has reached out to six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a social media video urging US military personnel to defy “illegal orders,” raising the possibility of a federal investigation.

The move comes a day after the Pentagon initiated its own probe into Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona for potential violations of military law.

These developments follow former President Donald Trump’s accusations on social media that the lawmakers’ actions amounted to sedition, which he claimed is “punishable by DEATH.”

The incident represents an unusual escalation, drawing in both federal law enforcement and the military, institutions that have traditionally refrained from involvement in partisan disputes. The lawmakers in the video emphasized that service members are legally obligated to reject unlawful orders, a stance already enshrined under US military law.
