Slotkin claims Feds investigating her over viral video on ‘illegal’ orders

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., claimed this week that she is under investigation by federal law enforcement over her participation in a viral video in which she and other Democratic lawmakers urged members of the military and intelligence community to ignore “illegal” orders.Slotkin joined other Democrats in November to make the video, including Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., who has faced disciplinary action from the Department of War.
The Michigan Democrat stated that the U.S. Attorney for D.C.’s office had contacted the Senate sergeant-at-arms seeking an interview, the New York Times reported.
It remains unclear whether she will face any charges. Kelly, for his part, faced a reduction in his retirement pay over his involvement. Conservatives widely criticized the video as an attempt to foster disloyalty in the military.
