Pentagon and FBI Investigate Senator Mark Kelly Over Controversial Video Addressing Military
The Pentagon has initiated an investigation into Senator Mark Kelly following his controversial video urging U.S. troops to defy illegal orders, a message interpreted by some as seditious. In response, the FBI is seeking to interview Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers featured in the video, who claim they are targets of an intimidation campaign. The investigation has drawn sharp criticism from Republicans, including media personality Pete Hegseth, who accused Kelly of politicizing his military service. Supporters of Kelly, including fellow Democrats, assert that this inquiry is part of a broader retaliation from the Trump administration against those who speak out against it. The political ramifications of these investigations could significantly impact the careers of those involved as discussions about legality and free speech intensify.
