War Secretary Pete Hegseth asked the Navy on Tuesday to review Sen. Mark Kelly’s (D-AZ) comments in a video featuring several Democratic lawmakers urging military personnel not to follow illegal orders.

Kelly was one of six Democratic lawmakers to feature in the video, with the remarks viewed by the Trump administration as a wink-and-nod call for insubordination. After the War Department announced a “thorough review” of the allegations on Monday, Hegseth requested that the Navy review Kelly’s “potentially unlawful comments” and report back to him by Dec. 10.
