A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., declined a request by prosecutors to indict two U.S. senators, Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, on charges of seditious conspiracy, MS Now reported Tuesday night.
The attempted indictment of Kelly and Slotkin related to a video they participated in with four other Democrats in Congress that reminded members of the U.S. military that they have the right to refuse to follow illegal orders by superiors.
“This is an outrageous abuse of power by Donald Trump and his lackies,” said Kelly, an Arizona Democrat.
“It wasn’t enough for [Defense Secretary] Pete Hegseth to censure me and threaten to demote me, now it appears they tried to have me charged with a crime — all because of something I said that they didn’t like. That’s not the way,” Kelly said.
