The Defense Department is threatening to recall Senator Mark Kelly to active duty so he can face court-martial proceedings.
The move comes after Kelly, a former naval officer and retired astronaut, appeared in a video urging U.S. service members to refuse “illegal orders.”
President Donald Trump seized on the video last week and accused Kelly and the five other Democrats in it of sedition, “punishable by death.” He also reposted “hang them,” sparking widespread outrage that he was calling for their executions.
