TL;DR
DOJ has asked at least four Democratic lawmakers to be interviewed as part of its probe into a controversial video urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey illegal orders; the FBI had previously contacted the Senate and House sergeants-at-arms to schedule interviews with six lawmakers in the clip, including Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Reps. Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan.
