Slotkin refuses DOJ interview over troops-video, urges dropping Pirro probe
TL;DR
Sen. Elissa Slotkin says she will not participate in a DOJ interview regarding a video in which she and other Democrats urged U.S. troops to refuse illegal orders, and she asks Attorney General Bondi to order U.S. Attorney Pirro to drop the probe, arguing the inquiry infringes First Amendment rights. The move comes amid backlash from Trump and allies; the case has drawn in the FBI, the Pentagon’s actions toward a fellow lawmaker, and related litigation.
