   Senator Elissa Slotkin said Monday that she has learned federal   
   prosecutors are investigating her for a video she made in November,   
   along with other congressional colleagues, urging members of the   
   military to disobey illegal orders.   
      
   Slotkin said she found out about the investigation from Jeanine Pirro,   
   appointed by President Trump as the U.S. attorney for the District of   
   Columbia. Pirro had emailed the Senate’s sergeant at arms requesting an   
   interview with Slotkin or her personal attorney, according to The New   
   York Times. Pirro’s office declined to confirm or deny the investigation   
   to the Times.   
      
   Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, helped to organize the video, along with   
   five other Democratic members of Congress who served in the military:   
   Senator Mark Kelly and Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie   
   Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan. They each urged service members to   
   refuse illegal orders, drawing anger from President Trump, who accused   
   them of sedition and suggested they be executed.   
      
   The investigation of Slotkin follows Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s   
   attempts to target Kelly, censuring him and going after his military   
   pension. In response, Kelly has sued Hegseth on free speech and due   
   process grounds.   
      
   While Slotkin isn’t a military veteran, a Justice Department   
   investigation could result in criminal charges. Is the Trump   
   administration willing to try and punish Slotkin merely for exercising   
   her free speech rights?
