Pentagon escalates review into Sen. Kelly over 'illegal orders' video (Kegbreath CYA?) [View all]

The Pentagon is escalating its preliminary review into Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) over the video in which he and other Democrats told U.S. service members to disobey “illegal orders.”

A Pentagon official told The Hill on Monday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office, along with the Defense Department’s Office of General Counsel, are “escalating” the review to an “official Command Investigation.”

Kelly, who retired from the Navy with the rank of captain, is under investigation for “serious allegations of misconduct,” according to the department official.

Kelly fired back, accusing President Trump and Hegseth of abusing their power and warned that these sorts of actions by the administration “should send a shiver down the spine of every patriotic American.”
