Democratic lawmakers said Tuesday that they were being targeted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation after appearing in a video that urged troops to disobey illegal orders.
Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan said in a joint statement that the FBI reached out to the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms on Monday to request interviews. Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, who also appeared in the video, said they also appeared to be part of an FBI probe.
“President Trump is using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass Members of Congress,” Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander and Houlahan said in a joint statement.
