Slotkin says she is under investigation for November military video
The senator called the investigation 'legal intimidation.'
www.politico.comHere’s the latest publicly reported information I can share about Elissa Slotkin, based on recent coverage.
Federal investigation related to an anti-illegal-orders video: Several outlets reported that Senator Elissa Slotkin is the subject of a federal inquiry connected to a video she organized last year urging U.S. service members to resist unlawful orders. Slotkin described the probe as a form of legal intimidation and said she has faced threats and heightened security as a result. The investigation has been described as being conducted by federal prosecutors in the District of Columbia, with Slotkin’s team resisting a voluntary interview request; lawyers indicated intent to preserve documents and consider litigation.[1][2][3]
Context with other participants: Slotkin is among lawmakers who joined a video that circulated last year alongside other military and intelligence veterans urging resistance to illegal orders. Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, who participated in the same video, faced separate censure, underscoring the political sensitivity of these actions.[4]
Responses and consequences: Slotkin has publicly detailed the personal impact of the controversy, noting bomb threats and swatting incidents at her family’s home, and has said that threats have escalated since the matter became public. She has indicated she will not participate in a voluntary interview and has engaged legal counsel to navigate the investigation.[2][3][1]
