Slotkin refuses Bondi and Pirro’s inquiry request over ‘seditious six’ video

Published February 5, 2026 4:21pm ET



Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said on Thursday that she will not sit for an inquiry with Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro regarding the “seditious six” video last year.

Slotkin is under federal investigation for participating in a joint video message to the intelligence community and U.S. military members that they are not obligated to follow illegal orders. The video prompted pushback from the Trump administration, which dubbed the six lawmakers the “seditious six.” All of the lawmakers have been contacted by the Justice Department.
