Senator Mark Kelly, D-Arizona, spoke to reporters on Monday, where he claimed the president was “threatening to kill” him.
It all started with the “Seditious Six’ video in which Kelly, Senator Elissa Slotkin, D-Michigan, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pennsylvania, Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colorado, Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pennsylvania, and Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-New Hampshire, encouraged military personnel and intelligence community members to “take risks” to ensure American safety. This included urging them to “refuse illegal orders,” implying that President Donald Trump or Secretary of War Pete Hegseth may ask them to do things that violate the law and/or their oaths.
Trump responded by taking to Truth Social to call out the group for their “seditious behavior,” adding, “punishable by death.” While it’s clear that nobody is seeking the deaths of these lawmakers over the video, Kelly is claiming that the president is looking to “silence” him and is “threatening to kill” him.
Watch:
“President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me for saying what is true. And he sent his Secretary of Defense after me. And it‘s not going to work,” the senator charged.
Last Monday, the Department of War issued a statement claiming that allegations of misconduct against Kelly had been received, resulting in an investigation being opened to determine their veracity.

“The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures,” the statement, released on X, reads. “This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality. Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.”
“The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels,” it continues.
“All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.”
