两名民主党议员——密歇根州参议员埃里莎·斯洛特金和宾夕法尼亚州众议员克里斯蒂·胡拉汉周四表示，他们不会就其参与的一段敦促军人违抗非法命令的视频接受司法部的采访。
斯洛特金在X平台（原推特）发布的视频中表示，她已告知司法部长帕姆·邦迪和华盛顿特区美国检察官吉尼恩·皮罗，她不会接受采访。
“今天早些时候，我致信司法部长邦迪和司法部在华盛顿特区的首席律师吉尼恩·皮罗，告诉他们：1. 我不会根据我拍摄的一段90秒视频接受他们的询问并进行采访；2. 敦促他们保留此案的相关记录，以防我决定起诉他们侵犯我的宪法权利，”斯洛特金说。
“我不会认可他们的行为，”斯洛特金表示，“恐吓才是他们的目的，而我不会配合这种行为。”
胡拉汉在X平台发布的另一段视频中谈到司法部的要求时说：“我不会接受采访。”
“当联邦政府的权力被用来恐吓包括宣誓捍卫宪法的退伍军人和当选代表在内的民众时，这种行为已经越过了界限，这不是正义，”胡拉汉说。
“言论自由不是政府可以撤销的恩惠，而是一项权利，我不会为自己或他人放弃这项权利，”胡拉汉继续说道。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）已联系司法部和华盛顿特区美国检察官办公室寻求置评。
美国有线电视新闻网此前报道，六名曾在军方或情报界服役的民主党国会议员录制了一段视频，敦促军人和情报官员违抗唐纳德·特朗普政府可能发布的非法命令。
至少四名参与该争议视频的议员已被皮罗办公室联系，要求接受采访。
斯洛特金和胡拉汉——以及参议员马克·凯利和众议员杰森·克劳、玛吉·古德兰和克里斯·德卢齐奥——在11月的视频中表示，“对我们宪法的威胁”正“来自我们国内”。
“没有人必须执行违反法律或宪法的命令，”他们表示，“要知道我们支持你们……不要放弃阵地。”
特朗普指责这些议员有煽动叛乱行为，并暗示应将他们处死，这一言论迅速遭到国会山民主党人的谴责，他们谴责总统的言论是煽动暴力的企图。
凯利因在视频中所扮演的角色遭到特朗普和国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯的公开抨击，目前正起诉五角大楼因惩罚他而违反其第一修正案权利。
本周早些时候，联邦法官似乎可能在凯利案中支持他，该案件指控五角大楼通过惩罚他的行为侵犯了他的第一修正案权利。

Two Democratic lawmakers – Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania – said Thursday they will not sit for interviews with the Justice Department related to their involvement in a video urging service members to disobey illegal orders.
Slotkin in a video posted to X said she has informed Attorney General Pam Bondi and DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro she won’t sit for an interview.
“Earlier today, I sent a letter to Attorney General Bondi and to the lead Department of Justice lawyer in DC, Jeanine Pirro, telling them: 1. I will not be complying with their inquiries and sitting down for an interview based on a 90-second video I filmed, and number 2. Urging them to retain their records on this case in case I decide to sue for infringement of my constitutional rights,” Slotkin said.

“I’m not going to legitimize their actions,” Slotkin said. “The intimidation is the point, and I’m not going to go along with that.”
In a separate video posted to X, Houlahan said of the DOJ request, “I will not be doing that.”
“What is happening now crosses a line when the power of the federal government is turned toward intimidating people, including veterans who have sworn to defend the Constitution and duly elected representatives of the people, for speaking the truth, that is not justice,” Houlahan said.
“Free speech is not a favor that the government can revoke. It is a right and I will not surrender it, for myself or for anyone else,” Houlahan continued.
CNN has reached out to the Justice Department and DC US Attorney’s Office for comment.
Half a dozen Democratic members of Congress who previously served in the military or intelligence community recorded a video urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey illegal orders that might be issued by President Donald Trump’s administration, CNN previously reported.
At least four of the lawmakers who made the video have been contacted by Pirro’s office for interviews following their involvement in the controversial video.
Slotkin and Houlahan – along with Sen. Mark Kelly and Reps. Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander and Chris Deluzio – said in the November video, “threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home.”
“No one has to carry out orders that violate the law, or our Constitution,” they said. “Know that we have your back… don’t give up the ship,” the lawmakers said.
Trump has accused the lawmakers of seditious behavior and suggested they should be put to death, drawing a swift rebuke from Democrats on Capitol Hill, who condemned the president’s comments as an attempt to incite violence.
Kelly, who has been publicly attacked by Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for his role in the video, is suing after a Pentagon move to cut his retirement pay and reduce his rank for participating in it.
Earlier this week a federal judge appeared likely to side with Kelly in the case, which alleges the Pentagon is violating his First Amendment rights through its effort to punish him.
