FBI Probes 6 Congressional Democrats Who Filmed Video Warning Military of Illegal Orders

HeadlineNov 26, 2025

The FBI is investigating the six congressional Democrats who filmed a video message urging members of the military to refuse to carry out unlawful orders by the Trump administration. In a joint statement, Democratic Congressmembers Jason Crow of Colorado, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, as well as Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, wrote, “President Trump is using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass Members of Congress. Yesterday, the FBI contacted the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms requesting interviews. No amount of intimidation or harassment will ever stop us from doing our jobs and honoring our Constitution.” Separately, the Pentagon announced that it would investigate Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, who was also featured in the video, for “serious allegations of misconduct.” Senator Kelly, a former Navy pilot, could be recalled to active duty for a possible court-martial. Senator Kelly is a former astronaut who spent 50 days in space and is married to Gabby Giffords, who was shot in the head in a mass shooting in 2011.
