Nov. 24 The U.S. Department of Defense announced on X that it will investigate Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., for « serious allegations of misconduct. »
The investigation comes in response to President Donald Trump’s accusation of « seditious behavior » after Kelly and five others posted a video reminding service members that they can and must refuse illegal orders.
After the video was released, Trump said on Truth Social, « This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? », Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday morning.
In another post, he called the video, « SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH! »
Kelly is a retired Navy pilot and NASA astronaut, whose wife, Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., was shot in the head at a campaign event in Tuscon, Ariz., in 2011. She survived, but suffered severe brain injury.
On X, the Defense Department said Monday it’s beginning a « thorough review » that could result in a court martial against Kelly.
« The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.
