The Pentagon announced Nov. 24 that it was investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for “serious allegations of misconduct” after the Arizona Democrat called for U.S. troops to refuse unlawful orders.
Officials are reviewing whether Kelly was involved in a breach of military law, according to a post on X from the Department of War, formally the Department of Defense.
Kelly was among a group of six Democratic lawmakers who put out a video directed at service members telling them they have the right not to obey orders they believe to be illegal.
“A thorough review” of the allegations was initiated to determine further actions against Kelly, a retired U.S. Navy captain, “which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures,” the post reads.
