Justice Department officials are probing Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s (D-Mich.) involvement in a video urging troops to disregard illegal orders.
President Donald Trump is “using his political appointees at the FBI and the Department of Justice to follow through with his threats,” Slotkin said in a Wednesday video. “It’s legal intimidation and physical intimidation meant to get you to shut up… I’m not going to do that.”
Slotkin confirmed that Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, reached out to the Senate Sergeant at Arms last week seeking an interview with Slotkin or her legal counsel.
