Democratic lawmakers have confirmed they are under investigation by the Trump administration, a remarkable step by the Justice Department. This follows the president's accusation of sedition, stemming from a video where they urged military members to resist "illegal orders."
The four House members and two senators, all with military or intelligence backgrounds, were first contacted by the FBI late last year after their 90-second video was released. They now report contact from the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia, marking a significant escalation in the investigation.
