Trump has weaponize the DOJ and it will have to be rebuilt after Trump is gone too?!! The DOJ has no credibility now and is justice in name only?!!
Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., is being investigated by federal prosecutors after she participated in a video with other Democratic lawmakers urging members of the military and the intelligence community not to follow illegal orders, her office confirmed Tuesday.
Slotkin said in an interview with The New York Times that she found out about the probe from the office of Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Slotkin's office confirmed her remarks to NBC News but did not elaborate.
“Facts matter little, but the threat matters quite a bit,” Slotkin told the Times. “The threat of legal action; the threat to your family; the threat to your staff; the threat to you.”
Pirro’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.
Slotkin, a former CIA officer who served in Iraq, is the second lawmaker who participated in the video to face an investigation following its release in November.
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a retired Navy captain and astronaut, on Monday sued over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's effort to censure and demote him for what the Defense Department described as “seditious statements” in the video. Kelly called the Pentagon's move “unlawful and unconstitutional.”
