DOJ wants interviews with Democrats as part of investigation into lawmakers' 'illegal orders' video

At least four Democratic lawmakers have been contacted by US Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office for interviews following their involvement in a controversial video urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey illegal orders.

The contact signals Justice Department has not let up on its investigation into the “illegal orders” video after the FBI first contacted the Senate and House sergeant-at-arms in November seeking to schedule interviews with the six Democratic lawmakers in the video. The Trump administration has painted the video as a dangerous undermining of the president’s authority as commander in chief, while the Democrats have argued they were simply restating the law.

Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Reps. Jason Crow of Colorado, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania said they had also been contacted by the US attorney's office.

It was not immediately clear what crime, if any, the Justice Department may be investigating related to the lawmakers, though President Donald Trump has suggested the six Democratic lawmakers engaged in “seditious behavior.” CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
