Mark Kelly after video to service members"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The U.S. Department of War has opened a review into alleged misconduct by Sen. Mark Kelly after he appeared in a video urging military and intelligence personnel to refuse unlawful orders, according to an official statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The department <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/deptofwar\/status\/1992999267967905905\">announced<\/a> the review on Monday, stating that the matter would be handled under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and other applicable regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials said the review will determine whether the allegations warrant recalling Kelly to active duty for possible court-martial proceedings or administrative action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The action follows a video released last week in which Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers urged military and intelligence personnel to refuse unlawful orders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump responded by labeling the group \u201cseditious\u201d and calling for their arrest, comments which drew criticism from the lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the announcement by the Department of War, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/petehegseth\/status\/1993008532187148582\">said<\/a> Kelly remains subject to the UCMJ as a retired officer and that his statements \u201cbring discredit upon the armed forces.\u201d He said the department is reviewing the video and Kelly\u2019s use of his rank and service affiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe video made by the \u2018Seditious Six\u2019 was despicable, reckless, and false,\u201d Hegseth said. \u201cMark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJ \u2014 and he knows that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly responded in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenMarkKelly\/status\/1993025671757807746\">statement<\/a>, citing his 22-year naval career and four space shuttle missions. He said he first learned of the review from Hegseth\u2019s post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Secretary Hegseth\u2019s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President\u2019s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death,&#8221; Kelly said. &#8220;If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won\u2019t work.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution,\u201d Kelly added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawmakers\u2019 video featured Sens. Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Reps. Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlahan, and Jason Crow. In the message, they told service members they have an obligation to refuse illegal orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump later described their remarks as \u201cSEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH.\u201d White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied that the president was calling for executions but criticized the lawmakers for encouraging personnel to defy the chain of command.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Department of War has opened a review into alleged misconduct by Sen.
