Arizona’s Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives want the Defense secretary to close a military investigation into Arizona senior Sen. Mark Kelly.
U.S. Reps. Greg Stanton, Yassamin Ansari and Adelita Grijalva wrote this week in a letter to Pete Hegseth that they are strongly opposed to the investigation of Kelly.
Kelly is under official military review for appearing in a video urging troops to disobey illegal orders, which was wrongly labeled seditious by President Donald Trump.
The letter from Arizona Democrats says Kelly is a war hero practicing free speech. It tells Hegseth to stop calling Kelly and other lawmakers from the video a disparaging name because they keep receiving death threats.
