The legality of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s claims against Senator Mark Kelly
Jan. 7
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly (D) is pledging to fight back after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced he’s taking administrative action against Senator Kelly.
Secretary Hegseth claimed Senator Kelly’s public statements, including a video message telling troops not to follow illegal orders, amount to sedition. In a statement on social media, Secretary Hegseth said he has initiated a formal 45-day process to reduce Senator Kelly’s rank and retirement pay.
Frank Rosenblatt, Professor at Mississippi College School of Law and a retired U.S. Army Judge Advocate General (JAG) Lieutenant Colonel, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the legality of Secretary Hegseth’s statement.
