Slotkin rejects Justice Department request for interview on Democrats' video about 'illegal orders'

Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan says she won't sit for an interview with the Justice Department regarding a probe into a video she organized urging U.S. military members to resist “illegal orders.” The Justice Department's inquiry came after President Donald Trump accused Slotkin and five other Democratic lawmakers of sedition. The FBI and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro asked the lawmakers for interviews as they investigated. In letters obtained by The Associated Press, Slotkin's lawyer wrote she would not sit for the interviews and requested the investigation be terminated. Slotkin says she's considering litigation. Slotkin is represented by Preet Bharara, a former U.S. attorney in New York fired by Trump in 2017.
