In other legal developments, Democratic Senator Mark Kelly has sued U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The lawsuit comes a week after Hegseth formally censured the Navy veteran for joining five other Democratic lawmakers to urge service members to refuse unlawful orders. Kelly spoke on the floor of the Senate on Monday.
Sen. Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth’s unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: If you speak out and say something that the president and secretary of defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion or even prosecuted.”
