The FBI and Department of Justice have reportedly scheduled appointments to interview the six members of Congress who appeared in a controversial video advising service members to disobey any orders they deem illegal.
The feds, according to Fox News, contacted Capitol Police to schedule the interviews with Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.), Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.).
The “Seditious Six,” as Republicans have dubbed them, released a video titled “Don’t Give Up the Ship” last Tuesday, calling on members of the military and intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.”
The video sparked a major backlash among top Republicans, including President Trump, who accused the Democrat lawmakers of engaging in “seditious behavior” that is “punishable by death.”
