US Democratic Senator Mark Kelly is facing a potential demotion from his military rank as well as a pay cut by the Pentagon. The actions against Kelly follow his involvement in a video where he urged active service members to defy orders deemed 'illegal.'
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Monday that the Pentagon will be taking 'administrative action' against Kelly, having also issued a letter of censure. Hegseth described the video which Kelly along with five other Democratic lawmakers were part of as 'reckless and seditious' and 'clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline.'
