A rising number of Democratic lawmakers report that they are under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding a viral video urging military personnel to refuse illegal orders. Among those under scrutiny are Senator Elissa Slotkin and Representatives Jason Crow and Chrissy Houlahan, who have expressed concerns about the implications of the investigations. Slotkin, in particular, has publicly condemned the probes, characterizing them as politically motivated actions by the Trump administration. The situation has elicited a defense from the lawmakers, who view the inquiries as intimidation tactics against critics of the administration.
