Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) said Tuesday that she’s under federal investigation for participating in a video last year, where she and other Democrats with military and intelligence backgrounds urged troops to defy illegal orders.

“Facts matter little, but the threat matters quite a bit,” she told The New York Times in an interview. “The threat of legal action; the threat to your family; the threat to your staff; the threat to you.”

“This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens like us,” the lawmakers said in the video. “You all swore an oath to protect and defend this constitution.”

“Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear,” the group added. “You can refuse illegal orders…you must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.”
